Sanitary Sewers
Sanitary Sewer
Manhole The sanitary sewer system carries waste water, wash water and
flush-able solids to Columbus' Sewerage Treatment plant. Crews maintain
miles of sewer line through a combination of remote camera inspections,
line cleaning, spot repair, and herbicidal treatment. Occasionally
blockages do occur and cause a back up of sewage. To prevent problems in
your sewer line, never put non-biodegradable items (cloth, diapers,
feminine sanitary products), grease, or food materials in your sewer
line (sink or toilet). To report a suspected backup, call the Service
& Engineering Department at 431-2425 from 7:30AM to 4:30PM. Evenings
and weekends, call 885-4463 and crews will be dispatched to investigate
your problem.
