The City maintains all wastewater mains, in street rights of way, and rights of way crossing private property. The City does not maintain commercial or residential service laterals to include the connection. This is the responsibility of the property owner. As most blockage occur in the smaller, lateral service lines, the property owner needs to assure that these are open before calling the City with a blockage complaint.

If, after checking your line, you still have a problem, please call the City of Sanford complaints department at (919) 777-1202 and someone will be dispatched to your location.
