As a property owner, you own your sewer service from the building to the City sewer main. The City owns and maintains the sewer main which is generally located in the middle of the street. Sewer mains are cleaned every three years. Maintenance crews use a high pressure jet of water to clean the walls of the sewer main and push material and debris downstream where it can be removed at a manhole.

The most common causes of sewer backup are:

  • putting items down your drain that should be put into your garbage,

  • invasive tree roots, and

  • sewer pipe problems (private and/or City main)
