With a formal government established back in 1836 the suburb of Prospect has come along way and so has its plumbing infrastructure.
It was nearly another 70 years from the time that a formal government was established that Sewerage by Plumbers Prospect and Electrical lights were installed. It was then another 26 years later in 1926 that heavy rains caused the western side of prospect to heavily flood leading to a huge storm water drainage infrastructure upgrade to help better cope with future storms.
There are a few land mark watering holes around prospect which have been in operation since the 1840’s to early 1850’s such as the Windmill Hotel located on Main North Road opposite Scotty’s Hotel and the Reepham Hotel formerly known as the Irish Harp Inn. Considering the age of these pubs it’s not unusual to get an emergency plumber prospect call out at the wee hours of the morning. Probably the most common call to these locations is blocked drain prospect, and that would be due to the age of the sewer and trade waste drain pipes and a little bit of miss use by some rowdy patrons occasionally. Another common emergency call we get is for burst water mains and this occurs through ground movement and sometimes the odd shovel or pick through the water pipes when gardening.

The Suburb
Defining the suburb of Prospect can sometimes be a little tricky as there are many nearby locations bordering it such as Nailsworth, Devon Park and Brompton BUT it was back in 1838/39 that the first grants of land were given for Fitzroy, Medindie Gardens and Prospect. The land around this location was used originally for dairy farms, timber milling, lime kilns and it’s with this rich agricultural history that today the people who live here enjoy the many benefits of this. Gardens and Veggie patches thrive on these rich soils and with the right Backflow Prevention Devices installed by a licensed plumber prospect our precious drinking water is always protected.
