Sewer

The City of Dixon owns and operates the sewer collection system and the sewer treatment facility (also known as the Wastewater Treatment Facility, or WWTF) as a municipal entity.  The City’s enterprise manages the sewer collection system from the connection of the sewer later at the sewer main (e.g., wye) to the WWTF located south of town.  All laterals are the property owner's responsibility to maintain.  The Engineering/Utilities Department does not manage or keep records of the sewer laterals.  

Sewer Backups & Overflow

The City of Dixon maintains the sewer mains only. The service lateral to the main is the responsibility of the property owner.
