Sewer Main Flushing

 Every community has areas where sanitary lines have little or no grade, tree root infiltration, or for other reasons can be a problem area.  We realize that these problems do not go away and choose to take a proactive approach, we periodically flush sewer mains with pressurized water and vacuum from a flushing truck. The process removes any build up of excess debris.  During this process water could be expelled from fixtures in your home such as toilets.  Crews should be made aware of these so pressures can be adjusted. Risk can be mitigated by flushing after each use and keeping toilet closed.

If you experience a plugged sewer, call Utility Dept. direct 506-325-4615 or after hours 506-325-4896 or email: utility@WoodstockNB.ca so we can determine where the problem exist.  An important item to check with your service line leaving your house or building is if it has a back water valve.  Back water valves are required by Town by-laws and will greatly reduce the odds of water backing up into your basement.
