Summit City Septic to Sewer
The City’s existing wastewater collection system provides service to approximately 3,800 accounts and consists of about 54 miles of pipe which terminate at the waste water treatment plant south of Pine Grove Avenue. The collection system also includes six (6) sanitary sewer lift stations.
A large portion of the western side of the City (the Summit City area) is not currently served by the existing wastewater collection system and instead relies on septic systems. Due to the age, lack of ongoing maintenance, and restrictive County and state regulations for repairing and replacing existing septic systems, the City is pursuing a project to convert parts of the area from septic to sewer.
