Preventative Maintenance Programs

A preventative maintenance program is designed to identify and address system issues before they become emergencies. Through routine inspections, cleaning, rehabilitation, and targeted repairs, the Authority works to protect public health, reduce the risk of backups or overflows, and extend the life of critical sewer infrastructure. This proactive approach supports long term reliability and helps avoid the higher costs associated with crisis driven repairs.

Residential property owners should also understand that they are responsible for maintaining their private sewer lateral to the curbline of the street, which connects their home to the public system. Keeping laterals clear of roots, debris, and structural defects helps prevent backups into the home and protects the broader collection system. Routine maintenance of private laterals is an important part of preserving reliable service for the entire community.
