Sewer Problems

If tree roots are clogging your sewer line, the City will clear the line, provided the roots belong to a City street tree. The City cannot clear blockages caused by private trees.

If you have a cleanout outside your home, you may request to be put on our lateral program. A City crew will periodically clean the line to keep the sewer clear. To find out more about the lateral program, call Maintenance Services at (714) 738-6897 and ask to speak with the Sanitation Inspector.
