Sewer and drain service in Roxana, IL
The median Roxana house dates to 1949, and a line that old can fail at its joints. Roots and collapsed pipe are sewer company work, so you can skip the plumber.
A 1949 median, older than its neighbors
Census figures put the median Roxana house at 1949, compared with 1973 in South Roxana and 1954 in Wood River. That makes the question for a Madison County village of 1,626 less about Orangeburg alone. Clay laid before World War II was joined with oakum and cement mortar, rigid joints that let roots in.
A median suggests, it doesn’t prove. A camera run shows whether you have clay, Orangeburg or something newer, and you keep the footage. Root trouble may call for hydro jetting or a repair at the bad joint.

Roxana: sewer and drain questions
Who do I call about the public sewer in Roxana, IL?
The village Wastewater Department, at (618) 254-0345 in business hours and (618) 972-2679 after hours. Call them if sewage is surfacing on public ground. For a line that serves only your own house, call us at (618) 740-6058, since that’s the work we do all day.
Why do roots get into sewer lines in Roxana, IL?
Often because the pipe is old. The median Roxana house dates to 1949, and clay from before World War II was joined with oakum and cement mortar, rigid joints that let roots in. A camera shows whether your own line has that problem and where the roots are.
Does Roxana, IL have its own sewage treatment plant?
The village’s site describes a new wastewater treatment facility, and the EPA’s list shows a permit under Roxana STP, NPDES IL0077356, at 241 Community Drive. For the details of what the plant takes and how your address is served, ask the Wastewater Department at (618) 254-0345.
Do I need a permit when I move into a house in Roxana, IL?
