It took SA Water crews 30 minutes to remove the cluster
by carefully attaching lifting slings to its main roots
before fixing them to an excavator’s arm
which expertly guided the mass out of the concrete sewer chamber
SA Water’s Senior Manager of Field Operations Colin Bell said other sections along the pipe also had extreme root intrusion
while some yielded around 200 kilograms of wet wipes
“Our crews were convinced they entered an episode of Stranger Things after making the discovery,” Colin said
“We were first alerted to the potential invasion after a substantial blockage occurred in another section of pipe within Walkley Heights
when we discovered what appeared to be a tree literally growing inside the sewers
areas in the foothills or surrounded by natural spaces experience a higher number of blockages
due to tree roots breaking into pipes in search of water and blocking the flow of sewage to our treatment plants
thirsty tree roots are the leading cause of sewer blockages within our network across South Australia."
To reduce the risk of blockages from tree roots, SA Water offers advice and a Healthy Pipes online tool to help South Australians plant the right tree in the right area of their property
Colin said the tree root mass weighed around half a tonne and measured five metres in length
“Due to the sheer weight of the root mass in Modbury
we needed the help of our excavator to safely pull the cluster out of the chamber – with our crews achieving this in one clean attempt
“Our cleaning also yielded a few more surprises
such as 200 kilograms of wet wipes and several metres of rope
serving as a timely reminder to the community to consider what they’re flushing down the toilet."

Rising inflation and increase in cash rates has not slowed down Adelaide’s buoyant property market with a new report revealing 123 suburbs that are now considered as ‘rising’ markets
The winter edition of Hotspotting’s Price Predictor Index report analysed sales data across Adelaide’s metropolitan area to determine where property prices are likely to rise or remain consistent
the average number of rising suburbs in Adelaide in the quarterly reports was 55
so the current market was more than double the city’s average performance
Adelaide is a nation-leading growth market said report author and Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder
68 per cent of Adelaide’s suburbs have also recorded median house prices rise more than 5 per cent in the recent quarter
Report author and Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder said Adelaide remains a nation-leading growth market
both in terms of sales activity and price performance
“Australian investors and buyers have discovered Adelaide at long last,” Mr Ryder said
“It’s a great lifestyle city and it is particularly affordable for buyers coming out of Sydney and Melbourne
“I think price growth is far from peaking in Adelaide
A strong economy is going to pump it further.”
The report has listed nine municipalities with seven or more rising suburbs
The suburbs in Adelaide’s far south include suburbs like Aberfoyle Park
oustide the home they have bought in Christies Beach
Timms Real Estate agent Jason Mills who specialises in the Onkaparinga area said inquiries for properties were “overhwleming” especially from interstate buyers
nearly two-thirds are from interstate investors which is increasing competition in the local market,” Mr Mills said
Christies Beach and O’Sullivan Beach have not only recorded elevated sales activity but price growth as well
“Traditionally slower markets like Morphett Vale
has seen price growth beyond our expectations.”
Proximity to the coast and affordable pricing are also attracting buyers to the southern LGA
especially those priced out of other Adelaide suburbs
had been looking for a family home for a while
“I had shifted to my mother’s home in Port Noarlunga and really liked the area
so when this home came up in Christies Beach
I jumped at the opportunity,” Ms Molloy said
The report also noted that across regional SA
most of the towns in the LGAs of Victor Harbor and Alexandrina
