Pressure Sewer Areas

A small portion of industrial/commercial properties are serviced by a pressure sewer system. This type of system comprises of a pressure sewer pipe located within the street which is owned and maintained by City West Water. City West Water also owns and maintains part of the property boundary assembly which connects the property to the pressure sewer pipe. Within the property is located a collection tank and grinder pump which pumps the sewage into the pressure sewer pipe. The collection pit and grinder pump is owned and operated by the property owner.

You will be notified if your property is located within a pressure sewer area at the time you make application to connect your property to our sewer. Details of the various components of the sewer pressure system and ownership details are located in the property owners’ manual which can be downloaded from this page.
