Sewer Repair May Impact Some Culver City Residents

The City of Culver City on Tuesday reminded the community that ongoing sewer main work may impact some residents as contractors work to rehabilitate aging pipes in the area.

According to the city, some residents may experience temporary sewer line connection disruptions as work is completed. During that time, affected residents have been asked to prevent any water from entering drains during the day.

According to a city email, affected residents will be given at least 48 hours of advance notice before work begins and should expect the following during the pipe installation process:

• Typical installation should be completed in a single day using robotic methods to restore active house connections from within the pipe.
• If there is a city sewer manhole located within the sewer easement in a home's backyard, the contractor will need to access it in order to clean the pipe and install the new liner.
• While the work is being performed, sewer service connection will be temporarily sealed off. It is requested that each resident or business should prevent water from entering through any drain between 8am and 5pm on the day specified in the 48-hour notice. This includes not washing clothes or dishes, taking showers or flushing toilets.
