What does Aurora say about the sewer service line?
That it is the owner's, up to the tap. The city says the owner maintains and repairs the line from the building to the main, and the code extends ownership to the tap connection.
In a backup, the city advises calling a plumber, reporting to Aurora Water and contacting your insurer. A plumber or drain pro can clear the line with sewer line jetting, and a camera inspection can reveal visible roots, cracks or buildup. Call for information about the service and to book a time.
Why learn your pipe's age before buying coverage?
Because plan pricing and need depend on it, as Aurora's own guidance suggests. A line from the 1950s and one from 2015 have different risks.
A camera run shows the pipe material and visible condition. Original Aurora's older lines are likelier clay or cast iron, while newer subdivisions use plastic. Keep the recording with your house records.
Who maintains which part of the line in Aurora?
Aurora's pages and code split public mains from the owner's service line.
| Piece of the system | Responsible party | Practical meaning for a backup |
|---|---|---|
| City mains in streets, alleys and easements | Aurora Water | Report main problems to Aurora Water |
| Service line from the building to the tap | Property owner | The owner maintains and repairs it, and any resulting damage |
| Service line protection plans | Optional, owner's choice | The city suggests learning pipe age and material first |
How does Aurora's growth shape its sewers?
Fast. The city spreads across a huge area east of Denver, with big new subdivisions beside older neighborhoods near Colfax.
Newer plastic lines see grease and wipes more than roots, while mature trees near older lines in Original Aurora and Hoffman Heights can reach joints; tree root removal is the matching service.
Which Aurora businesses book jetting?
Restaurants along Havana and Colfax, medical-campus facilities and apartment complexes.
Commercial grease line jetting cleans kitchen lines, and drain jetting handles branch lines in apartment buildings.
