Water Reclamation Department - Sewer Division SERVICE LINE RESPONSIBILITY

Service Line Responsibility

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY: The customer is responsible for the sewer service from the house to the sewer main, INCLUDING THE TAP (Click here to view diagram). All sewer service work requires a sewer repair permit. If the customer's house is across the street from the sewer main and the sewer service runs under the asphalt / pavement, the customer is responsible for obtaining both a sewer repair permit and a street cut permit if the customer needs to rip up the street asphalt to affect repairs. Both permits are available at the City Engineer's Office. If the sewer service work also requires ripping up the sidewalk in front of the customer's house, the customer is responsible for replacing the sidewalk.

SEWER DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBILITY: The sewer department is responsible for the sewer main itself.

Please contact the Sewer Department at (219) 462-6174 extension 1362 should you have any questions or concerns.
