OBJECTIVE:
To maintain free-flow of sanitary and clear water by eliminating potential blockages and conditions that could result in loss of service, personal injuries or property damages.
FUNCTIONS:
- Remove debris in right of ways and flush potential blockages.
- Clean catch basins, main sewers, house connections, and any other appurtenances of the sewer system.
- Repair damaged main sewers, catch basins, manholes and connections within the limits of the pavement.
- Repair, maintain and replace sewer pump stations.
- Conduct preventive maintenance in known flood areas through on-site and remote televised inspections.
Over the past several years, we have functioned under a preventive maintenance mode of operation. Not only does preventive maintenance help prolong the life of existing components of the sewer system, but over time it becomes increasingly more cost effective, as corrective maintenance becomes more expensive. This manner of operations provides added benefits to our customers by alleviating street and basement flooding problems before they occur.
In the event of a sewer blockage and/or water accumulation in the basement, notify Customer Service of the Division of Water Pollution Control. Notifying Customer Service prior to contacting a plumber may save the customer unnecessary expense.
