Sewer and drain service in Marine, IL
Marine’s older houses may have an aging line in the yard. Past the 5-foot mark in Illinois law, that’s sewer work, so call us for that.
Exactly 1970
The Census median in Marine is 1970, the last year of the rough span for Orangeburg pipe, which ran from about 1860. That’s a coincidence of dates and doesn’t prove what’s under any Marine lawn. But half of these houses predate 1970, so it’s a fair thing to check.
That wood pulp and pitch can blister, peel and collapse. Older clay has rigid joints that let roots through. A camera inspection shows which one you’re dealing with.
Who to ask in Marine
The EPA’s list shows a permit under the Village of Marine at 3780 State Route 4, with a general permit number. It’s a holder on file, not a map of who connects. Ask the village about your own connection and about any lateral rule, because we haven’t found one written down.
About 1,200 people live here by the Census count. St. Jacob is 4.8 miles away and Highland 5.1, and our Granite City base is 19.1 miles west.

Marine: sewer and drain questions
Does Marine, IL have a sewage treatment plant?
The EPA’s list shows a permit under the Village of Marine at 3780 State Route 4, carrying a general permit number. It shows who holds the permit and where, not which houses drain there. The village can tell you how your own Marine property is served, and it’s worth asking before you plan work.
How old are sewer lines in Marine, Illinois?
Nobody can tell from a table alone, though the median Marine house was built in 1970. Half of them are older, so Orangeburg or clay with rigid joints wouldn’t be surprising. Some may have been replaced since then. The way to find out about your own line is a camera run.
Who is responsible for a sewer line under a Marine street?
We haven’t found Marine’s rule in writing, so ask the village before you budget for a repair near the street. The answer differs from town to town in Illinois, and a neighbor’s experience may not apply. Have the village state where its side stops, and at which point your own lateral begins.
What should I tell you when calling about a Marine sewer problem?
Tell us your Marine address and where the water is showing up, such as a floor drain or a soft patch of yard. Mention if it happens only during rain. Call (618) 740-6058, leave those details with the automated line, and a company representative calls back as soon as possible.
