Is the property owner responsible for a sewer back-up?

The property owner is responsible for the line that services his/her building up to the property line. However, if a blockage occurs in the service line but is unknown where the blockage is taking place (private or public property), the property owner must make an effort to free the blockage, at his/her expense.

If the blockage cannot be relieved by these methods and it is demonstrated that the blockage is within the public layout, the Department of Public Works will accept its responsibility from the property line to the city’s main.
