Sewer and drain service in Bunker Hill, IL
A 1962 Bunker Hill house may sit on pipe from the Orangeburg years. When that lateral fails outside the wall, you need a sewer company, and that’s us.
One number for city questions
Bunker Hill lists its city contact as (618) 585-4632, with Public Works at extension 2. Call them if you suspect something in the street, and ask where your responsibility stops. We found no published lateral rule, so that answer has to come from them.
The EPA’s list shows BUNKER HILL STP, CITY OF (ILG580154) on Lagoon Road, under a general permit number. A permit on file names a holder. How your own house connects is a question for Public Works.
The pipe a 1962 median points to
In this Macoupin County city of 1,305, the Census median is 1962. Dorchester, 4.6 miles off, reads 1947. Royal Lakes, 5 miles off, reads 1999. That middle spot sits squarely in the popular years for Orangeburg, which can blister and collapse. Some older lines here may be clay with mortared joints that invite roots.
Skip the guessing. A sewer camera shows you the pipe, and the recording is yours. Replacement or trenchless repair can wait until you’ve seen it.
