Why can't you rod the sewer line under my house?
The city uses a jet rodder to remove blockages from its large sewer mains. This rodder is operated by high water pressure and if run under your house, could cause sewer to blow back up in your house through your sinks and toilets.
If my meter is being read every month, why is there grass and dirt all over the meter?
Water meters are read electronically, therefore, staff normally do not have to pull the lid.
What is a backflow preventer and why do I need one?
It is a mechanical device used to protect the customer and city water from contamination.
