1. How are sanitary sewer mains cleaned?

The Utility Department uses a machine called an aquatech to jet the mains with high water pressure. This machine is also used to unblock any obstruction in the line that may cause a backup. 

2. What can I do to prevent sewer back ups?

To help prevent sewer main or lateral issues please do not dispose of household grease, diapers, wipes or anything other than toilet paper into toilets. 

3. Who should I contact if my sewer is backed up?

If you are experiencing a sewer backup please call the utility superintendent at 260-414-9097 and a service crew will come and inspect the sanitary sewer main in your area. They will contact you and let you know if it is the city's problem or the home owners problem and advise you on the situation.
