Manhole maintenance

Request maintenance to City manholes.

The City of Canning is responsible for the maintenance of City owned manholes. Canning assets are most typically identified by the lack of branding on them and will usually be stormwater drainage. City owned manholes can be located via our mapping tool.

Other utilities manholes

• Other utilities (e.g. Telstra, Water Corporation etc.) are responsible for the maintenance of their own manholes.
• Other entities assets are typically identified by their branding.
• If you are unsure of the asset owner, please call the City on 1300 422 664 so that an Officer can review the location on our mapping system and determine ownership.
• If the manhole is causing a hazard/public safety issue, please report it to that entity as a matter of priority.  You can also report it to the City so that we are aware of the hazard by calling 1300 422 664.

Main Roads WA

Verges, footpaths and City stormwater drains are still the responsibility of the City for these main roads.
