SEWER BACK-UPS
If you should experience a backup of sewage into your home please call the Egg Harbor Township Municipal Utilities Authority at (609) 926-2671 immediately. The cleanout located closest to the street or curbline will be inspected and/or plunged by the Authority. After hours, weekends and holidays, please call (609) 412-5244.
Cleanouts
Each home or business tied into the public sewer system will have a cleanout somewhere in the front or side yard. This is the place where the home ties into the sewer system and will generally be near the road. This cleanout is a very important part of the sewer system since it provides access to clean the lines in the event of a blockage or if you experience a back up in your home. These cleanouts must be maintained by the property owner. Each cleanout is to be capped, preferably with a cap made of brass as they are much stronger than the original PVC caps.
The cleanout should be exposed, but cut down to help minimize any damage that may occur due to property maintenance like grass cutting. The cleanout should be covered with a cast iron frame. All new construction is required to have the cast iron frames at the time the house is built.
