What We Are Doing

Preventing Blockages

All sanitary sewer line segments are on regular cleaning cycles, ranging from three months to 10 years. However, if we detect a blockage before the scheduled cleaning, we take immediate action to prevent it from worsening. This proactive approach ensures the smooth functioning of the system and minimizes disruptions.
