As the city sewer lines are smoke tested, the crews will start handing out notices of damaged sewer lateral clean-out assemblies. This assembly is where the drainage system exits the building, then turns into the city sewer line.
The clean-out gives access to the private sewer line so that it is able to be cleaned.
Sewer laterals are the responsibility of the property owner and damaged clean-out assemblies can allow unwanted water and/or debris into the sewer system that can cause the sewer system to back up and overflow in private lines, as well as the city’s main sewer lines. Damaged clean-out assemblies are also a violation of the Sewer Use Ordinance.
