Brighton Sewer Department Policy
   
  The Brighton Sewer Department is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all 130 miles of public sanitary sewer mains and manholes. The service lines from houses and businesses to the main, including the connection at the main, are the responsibility of the property owners. The purpose of the Brighton Sewer Department is to ensure the efficient and sanitary movement of wastewater to the Monroe County Treatment Facility.

Laterals:         The Sewer Department is NOT responsible for maintaining sewer laterals. The owners are responsible for the lateral from the building to the main, which would include the removal of roots, grass, grease, or other blockages. Though the responsibility of the Town is limited to the sewer mains, the Sewer Department

   will attempt to remove blockages in the SANITARY lateral on an

EMERGENCY basis. Call us at 784-5282, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

 
Sanitary sewers convey wastes from bathrooms, kitchens and laundry facilities.

Storm sewers convey water from sub-surface

drains, sump pumps and gutters.

 

NOTE:            It is illegal to purposely drain gutters, sump pumps or ground water to the sanitary system.

Basement Area: :      Floor drains, sump pumps and plumbing fixtures should be kept plugged or protected by a "back water" device.
