The City maintains and replaces the public sewer pipeS, manholes, and pump-stations.  Property owners fund these efforts by paying their monthly sewer fee which goes into the Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund.  The enterprise fund insures that your contributions go to the sewers and not other City general expenses.

Sanitary Sewers

Sewer Backup:  most sewer backups are blockage in the property sewer.  The property sewer extends from the house to the main public line, this portion is maintained by the property owner.  There are local companies in the yellow pages that clean sewers.  If you think it might be a problem with the public line, follow the instructions here 

Overhead Sewer Program

Danville has created an overhead sewer program to help qualifying homeowners prevent lower level (basement) sewer backups.  This program is a financial partnership between the homeowner, the City of Danville, and the Danville Sanitary District.  The program will be administered on a first come basis although higher risk homes will be given consideration.
