Handy hint Downpipe diversion is most

eective when water rom the hose fows

over a garden or grassed area and is allowed

to inltrate back into the soil. I the area

around the house is primarily paved or

concrete, then downpipe diversion isnot ideal.

Please note: A licenced plumber must

be used or stormwater connections

and modifcations.

Handy hint Water inltration into soil

near permanent structures can cause the

ground to sink or swell, which can cause

cracking, subsidence or oundation ailure.

Thereore, it is important to ensure that

the discharge point rom the downpipe

diversion meets the setback requirements

outlined in Table 1.
