Pipe Up

Don’t let sewage make a house call. A lateral sewer line connects a home’s plumbing to the public sewer system, and it’s the owner’s responsibility to maintain it. An old and damaged lateral line could lead to sewage back-ups into your yard and home, turning your biggest asset into a mess of costly repairs. Visit tbep.org/pipeup to learn more about rebates available to help cover the cost of inspecting, repairing, replacing or rehabilitating private lateral sewer lines.
