Local facts with sources
- The city's water and sewer division
- Belmont's Public Works page says the division is responsible for installing, repairing and maintaining city water and sewer lines. It also lists after-hours response for water meter and main line shut-off and a Report a Problem button for leaks. Source.
- Sewer laterals
- The city's sewer policy says the city maintains the primary sewer and the part of a service lateral in the right-of-way or sewer easement only when a cleanout exists at or near the property line. 'At or near' means within 24 inches. Without that cleanout, the city has no responsibility for any part of the service line. Source.
- Older neighborhoods
- The same policy says that in older neighborhoods the laterals were installed without cleanouts, while cleanouts are standard in areas sewered in about the last 20 years, as of the policy's 2011 effective date. Source.
- Parts of Belmont and TRU
- The City of Gastonia says Two Rivers Utilities serves parts of Belmont. Your bill shows which utility serves your address. Source.
What this means for a backup
If a drain backs up, find out whether a cleanout sits at the front property line. A plumber can locate it. When one exists, report the blockage to the city, which will send a crew to see whether the main is clear. When it does not, the stoppage is the owner's to clear.
Read sewage backup for the first steps, and keep clear of the water until the source is known.
