Resident Jennifer Elander said there was an inch of mud in her garage because the drains near her house were blocked.

"We had to scoop the drains out with our hands. We called the SES for help and were pretty lucky there wasn't more damage done.

"We're scared every time it rains; we have to put sandbags around our house just to be safe," she said.

After an earlier storm in February, the Express Telegraph reported the flooding of homes in the residential street. Homeowners said the flooding was the result of pooling created by water flowing along the dirt wall beyond their property and an inadequate drainage system installed by the developer.

Bellbrook is just behind Underbank, with a fence separating residents from a construction site with a dirt wall lining the properties' perimeter. Bellbrook senior project manager Andrew Preston said investigations were continuing into the drainage conditions following the complaints.

He said temporary works were in place, and they had done everything according to council requirements.

Moorabool chief executive Robert Dobrzynski said an urgent meeting had been requested with the developers and their consultants.

"Council officers will contact the residents who have registered inconvenience to advise them of any improvements that may be possible following the proposed meeting with the developer," Mr Dobrzynski said.

The SES unit attended nearly 20 calls in Bacchus Marsh over the weekend of the storms on March 6.

Moorabool Reservoir reported a 29- megalitre rise following the rain that weekend, and Lal Lal Reservoir rose by 20 megalitres.

Lal Lal farmer Geoff Fisken received up to 80mm and said he could not be happier.

"It's fantastic; none of us have seen an autumn break like this for a long, long time. Maybe in 1984 was a true autumn break," Mr Fisken said.

Following the rain he dug down in the paddocks that he intended to sow for pasture and the moisture had gone deep into the soil, by as much as 10 centimetres.

"It's going to do a heap of good. We were getting desperate for water and it's taken the pressure off ... hopefully we'll get a bit more rain in a week or so," Mr Fisken said.

"If there's a downside, we won't be shearing ... but I would rather the rain than a day's shearing."
