Does the city's program of cleaning the sanitary sewer system include my house or building lateral connection?
The hydraulic jetting of the city's sanitary sewers does partially clean the house or building lateral as the jet nozzle moves past the connection point to the sanitary sewer, but is not design to clean the lateral. House or building lateral maintenance is the responsibility of the property owner.
