Coverage

Where BelowGrid can answer

For a covered city, BelowGrid says who owns and maintains the sewer lateral and the water service line at an address, and which local rules apply, each checked against its source document.

The two pipes

  • The sewer lateral carries wastewater from your home to the public sewer in the street.
  • The water service line brings water from the main, usually through a meter, to your home.

Who has to repair each one differs from city to city. That is what BelowGrid tells you.

Counties and special districts (125)

Sanitary, water and utility districts and counties responsible for pipes in the places they serve. Each city’s own page already includes the district that serves it.

What you get for a covered city

  • Who owns each pipe

    Where the sewer lateral and the water service line stop being the property owner's, and who is responsible for the rest, in the authority's own words.

  • The local rules

    Requirements such as permits and inspections, each linked to the document it comes from.

  • What to do next

    Who governs and serves the area, with a link to each authority, any published help paying for a repair, and a lookup for a specific address.

Good to know

  • BelowGrid does not hold records for individual properties. Most of those are kept in permit portals.
  • A city that is not covered yet is one where BelowGrid cannot tell you who’s responsible yet. That says nothing about the city itself.
  • The figures on this page are counts of published answers, not a measure of the condition of any pipe.

Where property-level records are kept, and which authorities publish anything at all, is surveyed in where U.S. sewer lateral records actually are.
