Many homeowners in Maumee, Ohio are hearing more about sewer inspections, sump pumps, downspout connections, and sewer separation projects—and for good reason.
During heavy rain events, excess stormwater can enter sanitary sewer lines through aging pipes, footer drains, sump pumps, and improper connections. When too much clean water enters the sanitary system, it can contribute to sewer overflows, basement backups, and environmental concerns.
The City of Maumee is continuing efforts to separate stormwater from sanitary sewer systems and reduce inflow and infiltration throughout the community. The goal is to keep rainwater flowing through storm sewers while sanitary wastewater stays in the sanitary sewer system where it belongs.
Common issues found during sewer inspections include:
⚠️ Improper sump pump connections
⚠️Footer drains tied into sanitary lines
⚠️Downspouts connected to sanitary sewers
⚠️Aging or damaged sewer laterals allowing groundwater infiltration
Making these corrections can help reduce the risk of backups, protect local waterways, and improve the overall performance of Maumee’s sewer infrastructure.
