This will require some excavation on your property. <br />The Ciry will provide you on-site training on the operation and maintenance of the backwater valve. <br />Maintenance of the valve and the plumbing, sewer, and drainage on your property are your <br />responsibility. Tlie inspection identified additlonal site drainage and plumbing deficiencies in your <br />private dralnage and plumbing system and possible solutions.
