Wastewater Collections

Wastewater Collections Section of Water Resources

 The Wastewater Collections Section of Water Resources is responsible for the the operation and maintenance of the City's sewer collection system.  The Section is responsible for all of the main line sewers that are generally found in every street in the City and serve to collect wastewater from homes and businesses and deliver that wastewater through the collection system to the City's Water Reclamation Facility located in East Bay.                                                                 

Routine operation of jet cleaning equipment is part of the regular preventative maintenance program.  This operation maintains the system's integrity by using high-pressure water along with mechanical cutters to remove root intrusions and grease buildup.  Regular inspections using a truck mounted main line camera system and portable lateral camera identify problem areas and evaluate maintenance operations.  All new sanitary sewer installations are video inspected prior to acceptance by the City.

Properties are connected to the Wastewater Collections system through a pipe known as a sewer lateral.  Property owners are responsible for the installation and maintenance of their sewer lateral from their home to the connection into the sewer main line in the street.  For information on what you can do to help prevent sewer backups, please see our page on No Grease.  Please feel free to contact us regarding any questions or concerns you may have about the Wastewater Collection System.
