What to Expect
Summit County Department of Sanitary Sewer Services (DSSS) has teamed with CT Consultants to perform clean water reviews of each home. Reviews will include televising of the sanitary lateral, while adding clean water with colored water to all of the known and accessible clean water sources (downspouts, yard drains, driveway drains, sump pumps, storm ditches, etc).
Findings from these reviews will be reviewed by CT, Summit County DSSS, and each homeowner. The findings will be used to develop an individualized plan for each home that will remove clean water from entering on private property. These reviews and subsequent improvements will be overseen by CT and paid for by DSSS with no cost to the homeowner.

What We Review
Colored Water Testing
Colored water is added to each clean water source to determine if it is connected or leaking into the sanitary lateral.
Cleanout
Located inside your home. This will be used to gain access into the interior plumbing and sanitary lateral for the lateral camera. The lateral camera will enable crews to see if colored water is coming into your sanitary lateral.
Exterior Sources
Downspouts, storm ditches, yard/driveway drains, and other drains may be reviewed and checked from the outside of the house.
Interior Sources
Sump pumps may be tested with colored water to see if they are in any way connected to the sanitary sewer. Typical connection to the sanitary sewer (showers, baths, sinks, toilets, floor drains, etc) will not be tested.Note: Not all homes have sump pumps.
