What is the responsibility of property owners for the maintenance of sewer lines on private property and the line that connects the property to the Districts sewer system?
The owner of the property is responsible for keeping the building sewer clear between the building and the property line cleanout if there is one. If there is no cleanout or the location is unknown, the owner is responsible for clearing the building service line to the sewer main. Locating the building sewer and its connection to the service sewer is also the owner’s responsibility, although we will attempt to assist with available records and information. We suggest the owner employ a plumber to clear any stoppages in the building sewer.
