Sewer and drain service in East Alton, IL
East Alton has its own sewer division and a plant on Levee Road. When the line leaving your house stops or breaks, that’s a job for a sewer company.
A village that treats its own
The Sewer Division page lists plant flow of 0.91 MGD, and the EPA’s list shows a permit under East Alton STP, Village Of, NPDES IL0023094, at 320 Levee Road. Public Works, which takes in the street, water and sewer divisions, answers at (618) 259-7615.
Start there if you think the trouble is in the main, or if several houses are affected. Ask them as well where your part of the line ends. Don’t rely on a neighbor’s memory of it.

Could an East Alton, IL house have Orangeburg sewer pipe?
It could. The median East Alton house was built in 1955, when Orangeburg was close to its most popular. A median only suggests what’s underground, and your own line could be clay or something else. Camera footage shows the material, its condition and where any trouble sits.
