The Public Works Department consists of the following divisions:
Sewer DivisionThe City provides sanitary sewage service. A monthly service fee is included in the utility bill. Because there is no effective way to gauge sewage output from each house, the fee is based on water consumption.The City is responsible for the installation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system that lies beneath city streets. The homeowner is responsible for the line between the house and its connection at the street to the major sewer line. When a sewer stoppage occurs, the source of the problem is not always immediately apparent.
A sewer lateral is the sewer line that connects your home to the sewer main. The sewer lateral carries all waste water from your home into the sewer main. A private plumber installed your sewer lateral when the home was built. Because it is a private line, maintenance and repairs are the homeowner's responsibility. However, If you suspect or experience a sewer blockage, you should report it to the Clinton Public Works office for a thorough inspection. It is the homeowner's responsibility to flush or clear the sewer lateral. The exception would be if a problem in the homeowner's lateral is caused by a blockage in the city sewer main. A sewer clean-out is an access point on the sewer lateral that allows the line to be flushed or cleared in the event of a sewer blockage. The clean-out can also be used to prevent sewage back-up inside the home. The sewer clean-out is usually located close to the structure and is made of P.V.C. (plastic) or metal. Shrubs and plants should be kept away from the clean-out. Residential Garbage CollectionThe City of Clinton has contracted with Waste Management for residential solid waste collection. Household garbage will be collected twice per week. Residents may use up to a thirty (30) gallon receptacle but receptacle should not exceed sixty (60) pounds total weight. Plastic garbage bags with sufficient wall strength and not exceeding forty (40) pounds in total weight are also acceptable. All containers should be placed in a location that is easily accessible for pick-up and one that is no more than five (5) feet from the curb line. Please place the containers in a manner that will not block driveways or mailboxes or otherwise inhibit other services.
Residents will be notified of route changes through local newspaper and placement of door hangers on individual residences. Light CommercialTwice a week pick-up service will be provided to businesses which generate no more than one and one-half (1 ½) cubic yards of solid waste per week. If waste exceeds limits the business will be required to contract with a private company for collection.Rubbish/Tree Limbs & TrimmingsLimbs and other trimmings should not exceed five (5) feet in length and no greater than eight (8) inches in diameter. Limbs and/or bundled branches may not weigh more than sixty (60) pounds or exceed two (2) cubic yards.Yard debris will be collected on the last collection day of the week.
