Sewer and drain service in Aviston, IL
The village line at 618-228-7262 can speak to Aviston’s side of things. For the pipe from your foundation outward, you don’t need a plumber. You need a sewer company.
Who to ask in Aviston
The village’s contact page gives 618-228-7262 as its phone and lists utility and water emergency contacts. Start there if you think the trouble is on the public side. We didn’t find a published lateral rule, so ask the same office where your responsibility ends.
The EPA’s list shows a permit under the Village of Aviston, NPDES IL0020001, at 240 East 3rd Street. That’s the permit holder of record, and it can’t speak for how any one house connects.
1995 here, 1972 in Trenton
Aviston’s Census median is 1995, for a Clinton County village of 2,451 people. Trenton, about 4 miles away, reads 1972, and New Baden, about 8 miles away, reads 1980. Half of Aviston’s houses arrived after 1995, a generation past the last of the Orangeburg years.
If your line is one of those newer ones and it’s backing up, look for a cause other than old pipe. Main drain cleaning may clear it. A camera shows why it happened, which is what tells you whether it’ll happen again. We work out of Granite City, 28.5 miles away. No state rule requires a backwater valve here, since that code section was repealed in 2004.

Aviston: sewer and drain questions
What number reaches the Village of Aviston, IL about sewer problems?
Try 618-228-7262, the village phone on its emergency contacts page, which also lists utility and water contacts. Use it if you suspect the public side. For a blockage in your own line, call us at (618) 740-6058, where an automated system takes your details at any hour of the day.
Is old pipe the cause if my Aviston, Illinois sewer backs up?
Maybe not. Aviston’s median house dates to 1995, about 25 years after Orangeburg stopped being laid, so half the village’s houses are too new for that explanation. The older half is another story. A camera run through your line shows the actual cause instead of leaving you to guess from the build year.
What address is on the Aviston, IL sewage permit?
The EPA’s list shows 240 East 3rd Street, under the Village of Aviston, NPDES IL0020001. That address belongs to the permit record, and it doesn’t tell you how your own house connects. Call the village at 618-228-7262 if you need an answer about your particular address or street.
Does Illinois require a backwater valve in an Aviston, IL house?
No statewide rule does. The Illinois plumbing code section on backwater valves was repealed effective February 18, 2004. Ask the village whether it has a rule of its own. If a low drain in your Aviston house has backed up before, we can look at whether a valve would help.
