Sewer Line Inspection and Cleaning Scheduled

The City of Monticello will inspect and clean the sewer mains in your neighborhood soon.  Neighborhoods will be alerted through a flyer that will be placed on your front door when the cleaning truck will be in your area.

Why do the sewers need inspected and cleaned?
  • To keep the sewer system operating properly;
  • Help prevent blockages and backups;
  • Remove debris such as roots, sand and trash;
  • Evaluate where repairs need to be made.

You can expect to see City of Monticello or our contractor, Accu-Dig Inc., equipment in your neighborhood, normally between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

If the sewer line is jet-cleaned, gurgling noises may come from your sink, bathtubs, and toilets as air pressure is released from the sewer and sewer laterals. If your roof sewer vent is working properly, and not clogged with leaves or debris, the air pressure is usually relieved through the vent. If not, you might hear gurgling noises and sometimes the water in your toilet or sitting in your p-trap may splash or spray out. Our employees open manholes near the line being cleaned to minimize the possibility of water splashing or spraying inside the home.

Homeowners can also help:
  • Close toilet lids;
  • Remove sewer cleanout caps;
  • Make sure the sewer vent is working properly.

After the sewer is cleaned, run water down the drains to refill the p-traps and stop unpleasant odors from coming in through the pipes. Sewer cleanings are normally completed in a day; but, there may be times that the crew will need to return. While we try to provide notice, there are instances when emergency cleaning is done after hours or at night and notice can't be made.

If you have concerns or other issues, please contact us at 574-583-7847 or at our general email address at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
