Understanding Public Sewer Connection

What is Public Sewer Connection?

What is Public Sewer Connection? The process of installing a sewer line from your building’s plumbing system to the municipal sewer main located in the street or easement, allowing wastewater to flow to the public treatment facility.
Why Connect to Public Sewer? Often required when public sewer lines become available in an area. Benefits include eliminating septic system maintenance (pumping, repairs), potentially increasing property value, and removing limitations on water usage sometimes associated with septic systems.
The Connection Process: Typically involves obtaining permits, locating utility lines, excavating a trench, laying the new sewer pipe, connecting to the building drain and the public main, backfilling, and properly decommissioning the old septic tank.
Septic Tank Decommissioning: After connection, the old septic tank must be properly abandoned according to local regulations, usually involving pumping it out, crushing or filling it, and disconnecting it.
