Sewer Cleanouts Reminder | CITY OF OXFORD: (https://www.oxfordnc.org)
City of Oxford Fire Department issued the following announcement on March 7.
Sewer cleanouts and their caps play a vital role in the health of your home and the City of Oxford's sewer system. They are typically made of plastic piping and are located in the City right of way. They work as an access point to your sewer system, which is crucial for sewer line cleaning, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
DID YOU KNOW it is a violation of the NC State Plumbing Code to have a missing or damaged cleanout cap?
Make sure your sewer cleanout is accessible and that the cap is on tight and in good shape.
Missing or broken caps allow objects such as yard waste and litter to fall into the sewer lines causing messy and expensive backups. The City is working to identify all sources of inflow in our seer system to help solve this problem. By working together, we can save valuable resources.
To report a broken or missing cleanout call Oxford City Hall at 919-603-1120.
