The City will launch PAULIE on September 17, 2025. Get to know the new platform and what you can expect.

Property Owner Information
Property owners are required to maintain and repair their residential, commercial or other building sewers that extend from the building wall of the property being served up to and including the connection to the public sewer or outlet. The City has a Sewer Assessment Program that offers low interest loans to property owners faced with expensive sewer repairs.

Pipelining
The Sewer Utility hires Contractor(s) to rehabilitate deteriorated city owned sewers by installing sewer liners. Rather than digging up the street to install a new sewer pipe, the old or defective pipe is repaired by installing a pipe liner inside it. The installed sewer liner creates a new long-lasting pipe within the old sewer. Learn more about the process and where we are working.

Cleaning and Televising
Cleaning and Televising of sewer mains happen each year between April and December. Find more information about the program and to see where we are working here.
