Sewer and drain service in Pierron, IL
The EPA lists two Pierron sewage permits, east and west. Either way, the pipe from your foundation outward is sewer-company work, and a plumber isn’t your only call.
Two permits under one village
The EPA’s list shows a Pierron East STP under the Village of Pierron, east of Barnhardt Street on general permit ILG580237, and a West STP on Pacatte Road on ILG580137. Two permits in one village is worth a question. The list doesn’t say which houses go where, and two permits don’t tell you how the 378 residents of this Bond County village are divided.
We didn’t find a published lateral rule or an office number. Ask the village, and ask specifically who maintains the stretch between the main and your property.
A 1970 median, at the tail of Orangeburg
Census figures put Pierron’s median house at 1970, the year Orangeburg was on its way out. Highland reads 1976 and Grantfork 1985, each about 5 miles off. So half the village predates that cutoff, and half doesn’t.
You can’t tell from the street which half you’re in. A camera inspection shows the pipe itself. We’re 29 miles away in Granite City, near the edge of the range we work, and we can take it from there with cleaning or repair. Illinois law treats that line as a building sewer from 5 feet past the foundation, outside plumbing, so you have more than one kind of company to call.

Pierron: sewer and drain questions
Does Pierron, IL have a sewage treatment plant?
The EPA’s list shows two permits under the Village of Pierron: an East STP east of Barnhardt Street and a West STP on Pacatte Road. Those are general permit numbers ILG580237 and ILG580137. A listing names a holder, so ask the village about the current setup at your address.
Which sewage permit covers my house in Pierron, Illinois?
The village can tell you, and the list can’t. It shows an East and a West permit without saying which houses go with which. For the work we do, the answer rarely changes much, since the trouble in your own line sits between your foundation and whatever it connects to.
Could a 1970 house in Pierron, IL have Orangeburg pipe?
It could, since Orangeburg was laid until about 1970, but it’s near the end of that run. Pierron’s median house is from 1970, so some are older and some newer. Clay is a possibility in the older ones. A camera run names what you have and shows its condition.
Is a plumber required for sewer line work in Pierron, IL?
State law doesn’t require one for the building sewer, the line starting 5 feet outside your foundation. Plumbers are allowed to do it, and so are companies like ours. Indoor work is different. Faucets, sinks, tubs and water heaters need a plumber, and we leave those to them.
