Sewer and drain service in Edwardsville, IL
A new connection in Edwardsville comes with a city tap-on and a street bond. That job, or a stopped line on your lot, is sewer company work, no plumber needed.
What the city charges and requires
Edwardsville’s published figures put the tap-on for a single-family house in the city at $4,340, for May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027. A street excavation bond is $1,000, rising to $10,000 for sewer work. Those are the city’s numbers and not our pricing, so confirm them with Public Works at 200 E Park St, (618) 692-2331, before you plan a new sewer line or excavation.

The system behind your connection
The city lists its plant at 9.268 MGD, with over 100 miles of mains and 32 major pumping stations, run by a private operator under contract. The EPA’s list shows the permit as Edwardsville STP, NPDES IL0026310, at 3900 Wanda Road.
A 1984 median needs a different explanation
Census figures put the median house at 1984 in a Madison County city of 26,543, with Glen Carbon next door at 1989. A newer line that backs up may have a cause unrelated to age. Older houses here can still carry older pipe. Either way, a camera gives you footage to keep and the facts to decide on.

Edwardsville: sewer and drain questions
How much is a sewer tap-on fee in Edwardsville, IL?
The city lists $4,340 for a single-family house in the city, for May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027. That’s a city fee and separate from what any contractor charges. Confirm the current figure with Edwardsville Public Works at (618) 692-2331 before you budget for a new connection.
Do I need a bond to dig in an Edwardsville, IL street for sewer work?
Yes, by the city’s published numbers. A street excavation bond is $1,000, and it rises to $10,000 for sewer work. Public Works at 200 E Park St, (618) 692-2331, can confirm the current requirement for your Edwardsville project before anybody opens up the street.
Who owns the sewer lateral in Edwardsville, IL?
We didn’t find the city’s rule on that, so we won’t state one. Ask Public Works at (618) 692-2331 where the owner’s part ends at your address. For the condition of the line itself, a camera run gives you footage to take into that conversation with the city.
Does an Edwardsville, IL house built in the 1980s have old sewer pipe?
Probably not the old kinds. The median Edwardsville house dates to 1984, about 14 years after Orangeburg ended. A newer line that backs up may have a sag, a shifted joint or a blockage instead. Older houses in the city can differ, so check with a camera first.
