What is the property owners responsibility?
The property owner is responsible for the upper lateral of the side sewer from the house or building to the property line. A cleanout is usually installed at the property line, which indicates the connection point between the upper and lower lateral. In areas where NSD had slip-lined laterals, NSD will maintain the upper lateral as well. A cleanout will normally be located near the foundation of the building.
