Local drains
From vineyard to suburb
The name Kingsley was approved in 1974, and the suburb dates from 1977. One part has a younger story: a winery operated there from 1929 until 1986, when the land was redeveloped into house lots. So some Kingsley homes date from the late 1970s and others from after 1986.
Older lines are where roots usually win. Council guidance on root damage says it typically happens in old-style earthenware clay pipes, through faulty joints and cracks, and recommends PVC when a section is replaced. If the camera finds that, relining seals the joints from inside without a trench.
