Where to report an issue
Clean Streets Project

To request street cleaning in your street or in any of our major shopping and tourism precincts, please phone our Customer Contact Centre.
Drainage
The City of Stirling’s stormwater drainage network consists of 720 km of pipes, approximately 29,000 manholes and collector pits, and 180 drainage sumps and other drainage outlets.
The main drain networks and sewerage infrastructure in the City is the responsibility of the Water Corporation.
The City carries out the following drainage maintenance works each year:
- Pipe educting - This is a process of vacuuming out silt and rubbish build up and generally occurs in April and September each year in approximately 800 locations. In high blockage areas such as new development areas, educing also occurs prior to winter and as required.
- Root cutting - This is a process where cameras are inserted into pipelines to assess root intrusion. High pressure water jets and root cutting equipment are then used to remove identified root growth.
- Drainage infrastructure inspections - Drainage infrastructure is regularly inspected and any defects are passed on to our maintenance teams to repair.
- Drainage projects - The City has embarked on a program to draw plans and record all pipe and manhole information. This ambitious project will allow data analysis to be done by computer in order to determine areas in need of future upgrading works.
