Hi folks,
I'm currently looking at a 990m2 block in a great location. What's turning a number of people away is a sewer that goes through it about 3/4 up the block (pic attached) which makes the land far less usable. The local water authority is Yarra Valley Water in Melbourne. I've marked the bloack of interest.
I was wondering if anyone had experience tackling such issues and what possible solutions are?
I see at the top of the diagram a number of townhouses have been build right over the sewer. What hoops would they have had to jump through to make this happen?
I don't think re-directing it is easy given the fall of the land/connection downstream. Given it's location, I don't think it would be easy to put a second house at the back like they have next door as it would have to be incredibly small to avoid the easement.
Keen to hear any thoughts on this one.
