For plumbers and gasfitters working Sunraysia, from Merbein and Irymple out to Red Cliffs, and over the bridge to Buronga and Gol Gol if you're set up for New South Wales. A site that gets the urgent call from town, and also explains the slower jobs that come with Lower Murray Water paperwork: backflow tests, grease traps, and tanks and pumps on blocks that run on untreated river water.
Around Mildura, a plumber's callers come from three different kinds of property: houses in town on treated water and sewer, horticultural and lifestyle blocks with untreated river water and their own septic, and the New South Wales towns across the Murray. Each of them wants to see, before ringing, that you handle their kind of job.
Lower Murray Water's irrigation and domestic and stock supplies are untreated and not fit for drinking, cooking or cleaning teeth. If you install tanks, pumps and filters on those blocks, or check that the untreated line never meets the drinking water, a short section in plain words tells rural owners you're the plumber who understands their set-up.
Lower Murray Water wants a testable device at or near the boundary of every medium or high hazard property, tested at least every 12 months, with the result sent to it within 20 days. A section aimed at business owners and property managers, with a request form beside it, gives that yearly work a home on your site.
Every food business in Lower Murray Water's area that produces trade waste must have a grease trap sized for what it discharges, and an undersized one may have to be replaced with a bigger unit. If you size, fit and upgrade traps, name the kinds of business you do it for, from takeaways to hotel kitchens.
In unsewered areas, Mildura Rural City Council's consent comes before a septic system is installed or changed, and the application needs a Land Capability Assessment and site or floor plans. A few lines on what the owner gathers first saves you a round of calls.
In Victoria the licence belongs to the plumber, so the footer names the person, the licence number and the classes held. If you've also notified the New South Wales regulator, or hold a licence there, say so beside the towns it covers, so a caller in Gol Gol knows where they stand.
Town water or untreated supply, sewer or septic, Victorian or NSW side. Three tick boxes, a suburb or town, a mobile number and a photo upload for the leak, the pump or the label on the hot water unit. You know what you're driving to before you ring back.
The Victorian rules, briefly. Mildura plumbers are registered or licensed with the Building and Plumbing Commission, which replaced the Victorian Building Authority on 1 July 2025. Accreditation is held by individuals, class by class, and a licensed plumber issues a compliance certificate for work worth more than $750 and for some gas and drainage work at any price. Our Melbourne plumbers page sets out the detail, including the 2027 changes to gas hot water, and all of it applies in Sunraysia.
Lower Murray Water's backflow policy. The current version, approved in March 2026, applies to every property connected to its supply. A new non-residential development with no known hazard is automatically specified a high hazard device, and consent to connect isn't granted until the backflow paperwork is in. The owner signs an agreement to have the device tested at intervals of no more than 12 months. A plumber licensed in water supply may install it, but only a suitably qualified person may commission and test it. Two rules matter in a district of river pumps and water carting: standpipes used for tankering or water carting are rated high hazard, and a fire service with a boost connection within 180 metres of a river or dam is rated at a higher hazard level. Where a service is renewed from main to meter, an old non-return valve no longer counts as protection.
Living with untreated water. Irrigation water, domestic and stock supplies and private diversions from the river are all untreated, as is the town supply in Meringur, Werrimull and Cullulleraine (and Mystic Park, near Kerang); Lower Murray Water's other town supplies, Mildura's included, are treated. It asks owners to make sure no cross connection exists between the untreated supply and their drinking water, and its backflow policy says the two may only be joined through an appropriate backflow device. For storage, it recommends six weeks of normal use and a minimum of 45,000 litres where the domestic and stock supply is the only one, or 4,500 litres where a property also has urban water, and it doesn't permit earthen dams for this purpose. That's tank, pump and filter work, and if you do it, it deserves its own section.
Trade waste and septic. Lower Murray Water splits trade waste customers into minor dischargers, such as hotels, restaurants, takeaways, laundries and car washes, which need a consent to discharge, and major ones, generally over 1,000 kilolitres a year, such as fruit and vegetable processors, packing sheds, abattoirs and wineries, which sign a trade waste agreement. It asks businesses without a grease trap to seek its advice before one goes in, and emptying a trap is a job for a licensed liquid waste business. Off the sewer, Mildura Rural City Council's environmental health team issues septic consents, and a building surveyor needs the council's report and consent before issuing a building permit for an unsewered lot.
Across the Murray. Buronga, Gol Gol, Dareton and Wentworth are in Wentworth Shire, and the council's own water and sewer network serves them. Homes in those townships get two supplies: untreated raw river water for outside and the garden, and filtered water inside the house. The council sells both kinds of connection and takes the Notice of Work that NSW plumbers must lodge before starting. A Victorian plumber working there needs a NSW licence or a notification under automatic mutual recognition, which our Albury-Wodonga plumbers page explains in more detail. We're an Adelaide team, half an hour behind Mildura's clocks, and we work with Sunraysia plumbers entirely by phone and email: you send your licence details, towns and photos, check the draft on your phone, and pay once you approve it.
We haven't built a site for a Mildura plumber yet. Our plumbing and gas client is in Queensland, and SA Painting Professionals shows how we set out a service area by region and postcode, which suits a business that works both sides of the river.
A licensed plumber and gas fitter in Queensland. One page covers six services, among them hot water, gas, drainage and backflow, with a 13-photo gallery that swipes on a phone, testimonials from his customers, a protected contact form and tap-to-call.

Not really. WebCraft Studio is an Adelaide team, and we work with businesses outside Adelaide by phone and email only; our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD. You send your services, licence details, towns and a few photos, we build a draft you can open on your phone, you ask for any changes, and you pay once you approve it. We reply within 24 hours, and the only difference you'll notice is that our clocks run half an hour behind yours.
Only if you're authorised to work in New South Wales, with a NSW licence or after notifying Building Commission NSW through Service NSW under automatic mutual recognition. If you are, list the NSW towns under their own heading with the licence or notification that covers them. The NSW Government's mutual recognition pages are the place to check what applies to your classes.
Yes. A rural version of the form can ask whether the property is on town water, an untreated domestic and stock supply or both, roughly how much tank storage it has, whether there's a pump, and whether it's on septic. Owners can attach a photo of the pump or tank, and you ring back already knowing the set-up.
Yes. A short form can ask for the property address, where the device is, its type, make and size, and the water meter number, which are details Lower Murray Water wants on every test report. It arrives in your email like any other enquiry. If you'd rather customers pick a time themselves, we can build online booking into the site and quote it with the rest of the job.
For a sole trader working mostly in town, often yes. If rural water, septic or commercial work is a big share of your jobs, a 3-page site gives that work its own page with room to explain it, and the home page stays short for the person with a burst pipe.
Tell us the towns you cover, which side of the river you're licensed for and the work you want more of, and send any job photos you have. We'll quote first, build the draft, and you pay nothing until you've approved it.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
