Hot Water on a University Peninsula
Flats that change hands fast
Census figures put the median age here at 25, and 59.6 per cent of dwellings are flats or units, many of them student rentals near the UQ campus. A tank in one of those homes can sit unserviced from lease to lease, and Toowong Hot Water Services usually gets the call only once it fails.
Plant rooms that have taken water
Three arms of the Brisbane River hem this suburb, and in January 2011 floodwater reached the basement levels of riverside apartment blocks, which is exactly where building plant tends to live. Pumps, boosters and tank hardware that have met damp and silt age faster than gear kept dry.
Old pipe under the postwar houses
The houses that spread over the slopes once the campus arrived date from the 1940s to the 1960s, and plenty still run their hot taps off steel branches laid before PVC. Scale stacking inside that old bore narrows it, and the shower on the top floor loses its bite long before the system itself is at fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7118Why do tanks in the flats around the UQ campus fail so often?
Student leases turn over quickly, so tanks sit unserviced from one tenant to the next and only get attention once they let go, which is why Toowong Hot Water Services checks anodes and valves early.
Did the 2011 floods reach hot water plant in St Lucia's riverside towers?
They did, because the river filled basement levels across the low riverside blocks that January, and any booster or circulation pump living in that damp zone wears out sooner than plant kept high and dry.
Do the postwar houses in St Lucia need pipe checks before a new system?
Many date from before PVC drainage, so galvanised branches can still run beneath the boards, and the scale narrowing those old bores chokes flow, so Toowong Hot Water Services tests the supply before quoting.
Which system suits a small household in St Lucia?
At the last census the average household here ran 2.4 people, and most homes are rented flats, so a modest storage tank or a wall-hung flow unit keeps running costs down without anyone waiting.
Does a storm off Carmody or Sandy Creek cut hot water here?
Summer thunderstorms from November to March can trip a breaker or surge-damage an element, so we test which part has failed before quoting, and any fault past the meter belongs to Energex.
