Bubbler Concerns
- The private drainage system is a homeowner’s responsibility from the house to the storm line connection.
- The Highway will not flush the bubbler lines on private property.
- A bubbler near the street acts as a safety valve in the event of a curb tile being full or plugged.
- If no water is coming out at the bubbler, a resident should contact a plumber before the highway department
- Water flowing out of a bubbler vent during a heavy rainfall does not in itself mean that there is a problem with your drainage system.
- Common blockages of a bubbler or drainage system include: leaves, dirt/mud and other objects from gutters or sump pumps.
- The Highway Department will come out and check the main lines and catch basins for any obstructions.
