The Wastewater Program handles the maintenance and repair of the City's storm drain and sewer systems. The City maintains 287 miles of City-owned sewer lines and 9 sewer lift stations.
The Wastewater crews are responsible for detecting and correcting major problems. As needed, the crews respond to and repair storm water systems and City sewage systems. In the event of a storm, the Wastewater Division maintains catch basins and responds to complaints and concerns regarding floods.
Property owners are responsible for maintaining the private sewer lateral that connects their home or business to the City’s sewer main. Issues such as blockages, breaks, or root intrusion within the private portion of the sewer lateral are the responsibility of the property owner to repair. Keeping private sewer laterals in good condition helps prevent sewer backups, overflows, and damage to both private property and the public sewer system.
