With heavy rain falling consistently across Greater Dandenong and surrounding areas over recent months, Council staff have been busy maintaining Council’s extensive drainage network.
During storm events it is common for debris to wash down the drains which may lead to the drainage network getting blocked and unwanted pollutants washing down into our waterways.
You can help prevent this by minimising the amount of debris, leaves and other garden materials on or outside your property.
Council staff regularly inspect, maintain, renew and upgrade Council’s drainage network to make sure it is working efficiently.
We also work closely with other water authorities such as Melbourne Water to help us manage the drainage network effectively and to deliver a better service to the community.
