Sewer and drain service in Brighton, IL
Brighton’s houses span the switch from older pipe to newer, so your line could be either. Finding out takes a sewer camera, and that is a job for us.
A median right on the line
The Census median for Brighton is 1973, about when Orangeburg stopped being laid around 1970. Half of the village’s houses predate that year, so some of them could carry that wood pulp pipe. The rest probably don’t. Compare Shipman, 7.4 miles off at 1960, and Godfrey, 7.5 miles off at 1975.
A newer lateral that backs up may have a cause that has nothing to do with age. An older one may simply be failing. Camera footage separates the two, and it’s yours to keep.
What’s on record for Brighton’s sewer
The EPA’s list shows a permit under BRIGHTON STP, VILLAGE OF (IL0024457) at 648 South Park Drive. That’s the holder on file, which may not be the owner today.
We found no village website, permit office or published lateral rule. State law ends plumbing and starts the building sewer 5 feet beyond the foundation, and it doesn’t say who pays. This Macoupin County village of 2,536 sits 21.5 miles from Granite City, and your village office is the place to ask who owns what before a repair or a full replacement goes on your budget.

Brighton: sewer and drain questions
What is the sewage permit on file for Brighton, IL?
The EPA’s list shows BRIGHTON STP, VILLAGE OF, permit IL0024457, at 648 South Park Drive. A permit on file names a holder at that listing, and today’s owner may differ. It also doesn’t tell you how your own house connects, so ask the village office about that.
Do older Brighton, IL homes have Orangeburg sewer pipe?
Some may. Brighton’s median house dates to 1973, and Orangeburg went in from about 1860 to 1970, so houses in the older half are the ones to wonder about. That’s only a hint. A camera in your line shows the actual material, and we leave you the video.
Who is responsible for the sewer line at a Brighton, IL home?
We found no published Brighton rule, so confirm it with the village before you plan on a bill. Illinois law says plumbing stops where the building sewer begins, 5 feet beyond the foundation. Past that point is the stretch we work on, whoever ends up paying for it.
Is Brighton, IL too far out for Gateway Sewer and Drain?
No. Brighton is 21.5 miles from Granite City, and we work 30 miles out, Macoupin County included. Call (618) 740-6058 and leave your address and symptoms with the automated line. A company representative calls back as soon as possible, and you can ask your questions then.
