What is what part of the sewer line is the city responsible for?

The city is typically responsible for the main sewer line that runs beneath public streets and connects to individual properties. This main sewer line collects wastewater and transports it to the treatment facility. The city is also responsible for maintaining and repairing any issues that may arise with the main sewer line, such as clogs, leaks, or blockages. Individual property owners are usually responsible for the sewer line that runs from their property to the main sewer line, known as the lateral sewer line. This includes any repairs or maintenance that may be needed for this portion of the sewer line.
