Mains Upgrades in Lilydale

With about 594 people per square kilometre, Lilydale properties often feed sheds and pumps off the same mains, and the whole installation needs sizing together. Sitting at about 115 metres, Lilydale has slope on most blocks, and water follows the trench if the conduit is not laid properly.

Lilydale is about 34 kilometres from the CBD, where three-phase supply is more commonly available and newer estates were built with it from the start. In Yarra Ranges, which includes Lilydale, any work in the road reserve is coordinated rather than assumed. We tell you when that applies.

Worth knowing before we quote: It was rebuilt in November 2021 as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project, with the railway line being raised above Maroondah Highway. Service age follows the development era closely. We are across Lilydale along with Chirnside Park, Coldstream, Gruyere and Montrose, on the same rates and the same certificate.

From our Boronia workshop Lilydale is about 12.9 kilometres north-east, which is a short enough run that we can usually fit a look-in around another job rather than making it a separate trip. Lilydale is served by Lilydale railway station. Streets nearest the line are generally the ones with the oldest switchboards.

Also worth knowing about the area: Lilydale has segregated bicycle facilities including the start of the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail which follows the course of the Lilydale-Warburton railway line which was built in 1901 but closed in 1964.
