In most cases, the sewer line that runs from a person’s home to the main sewer line of the city is the responsibility of the homeowner. This is often dealt with when situations happen where the line breaks and sewage is leaking. However, in order to prevent such occurrences, some cities are requiring inspections to be performed when deemed necessary.
