Is my house connected to the sewer system? Where is my clean-out located?
Sewer connections can now be searched online using our database at Online Design Services/ Connection Records. If you can't locate your record, you can make a request for information using the Request for Verification
of Sewer Connection form found in our Forms section;
this can be faxed or delivered to the PCRWRD Maps and Records office. Staff will then access
the database and research whether a house is connected.
Records of clean-out locations are also available by fax or phone. (Information about clean-out locations is currently under construction in the online database.) Most questions can be answered by phone.

Are there substances I should not put in my drains or down the toilet? How should I dispose of hazardous waste?
Don't put grease, oils, fat, automotive fluids, pesticides, solvents, and other similar substances down the drain. Select less toxic alternatives whenever possible and dispose of any household hazardous materials through the County/City Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program. For more information see Save Our Sewers.

Does the county do anything about cockroaches in the sewers? How do I report a problem?
The PCRWRD Operations Division runs the Vector
Control Program to minimize cockroaches in our sewers. When a problem
is detected, manholes can be sprayed with a chemical that inhibits
the cockroach population. If you want to report a problem in your
area, call (520) 319-4601.
