Sanitary Sewer / Storm Water
The City of Simpsonville owns, operates and maintains more than 95 miles of sanitary sewer! However, we only maintain the sewer mains. The lateral service lines which run from homes and business to the main lines are owned and maintained by the property owner.
- Sewer Backups: Most sanitary sewer backups are located in the private lateral service line. The property owner is responsible for maintaining service lines. Occasionally, there is a problem in the mainline. If you are experiencing a sewer backup in your home or business, contact Public Works at 864-967-9531 during normal business hours. After hours contact the Simpsonville Police Department at 864-967-9536 and the problem will be dispatched out to our emergency personnel. If it is determined the problem is in your service lateral, contact a plumber.
The City maintains ONLY the portion of storm drainage systems that are within city street rights-of-way. The purpose is to ensure the streets are free of water hazards that could render them unsafe to navigate by the public as well as emergency personnel. Storm drainage systems within State road rights-of-way are maintained by the State Department of Transportation (SCDOT).
In 2002, as a federal mandate, the County of Greenville established a storm water program in order to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Water Act. Programs were created to address water quality issues related to the storm water runoff and to help correct some of the County's worst flooding problems. Greenville County has jurisdiction within the City of Simpsonville to enforce this Act.
Property owners continue to be responsible and accountable for actions that could lead to water quality degradation and flooding issues.
