What is the purpose of a cleanout at my property line?
A cleanout at your property line and within the public utility access easement gives District maintenance personnel access to the public sewer. With this access, trained personnel can better diagnose and correct sewer problems in the service sewer and main sewer. The public utility access easement is within five feet of your front and rear property lines, or wherever electric power cables, telecommunications cables, sewer, gas, drinking water and other utility pipelines are laid.
