Sewer Collections
Mt. View Sanitary District currently serves an estimated population of approximately 22,000 people. The effluent is comprised of approximately 90% residential and 10% small business waste. The plant receives approximately 1 million gallons per day during dry weather.
Approximately 73 miles of sewers and 4 pump stations are serviced and maintained by the District. MVSD mainlines are routinely checked for problems with root growth, grease buildup or other debris that may cause blockages. All MVSD mainlines are on a preventative maintenance schedule and are cleaned no less than every 3 years. There are also selected lines that get put ona higher frequency of cleaning determined by reviewing records kept on problem areas to prevent overflows. Our vacuum truck is capable of cleaning lines using pressurized water. Closed circuit television is used to locate and define problems in lines that are otherwise inaccessible. MVSD staff consults with developers installing new sewer lines and our long-range plan includes upgrading and replacing older lines.
MVSD has an emergency crew on call 24 hours per day seven days per week that will respond to all service calls. The District will handle problems in main sewer lines, but laterals are the responsibility of homeowners. Learn more about your lateral by clicking HERE.
