Who is responsible for the drain?
The property owner is responsible for the complete drain from where it exits the house to where it enters the main sewer in the road. This includes all maintenance activities and the replacement of the drain, if required. The property owner is responsible because the City cannot control how a property owner maintains their drain (or does not maintain it), what they put down their drain and the fact that it is truly for private use. The City is responsible for the main sewer that runs in front of your property, usually under the driven portion of the road.
