Customer Notices
Clark County Utilities Department performs systematic sewer cleaning maintenance on sanitary sewers throughout the area using a high-pressure sewer cleaning machine.
Periodically, the pressure from sewer cleaning operations can cause water to blow back through home fixtures, such as toilets and floor drains. Obstructions or partial obstructions in a home’s vent stack will increase the likelihood of blow-back water occurring.
Neighborhood residents where the cleaning is scheduled to occur will receive a Customer Notice (PDF) letting them know of the scheduled cleaning.
