Sewer and drain service in South Roxana, IL
South Roxana’s water department looks after the village system. A stopped line on your own lot needs a sewer company, and you can skip the plumber on that one.
A village that fixes its own sewer
South Roxana’s water department runs both the water and the sewer system, repairs sewer issues and does its own JULIE locates. The village says its lift stations have been updated. Village Hall and Public Works share one number, (618) 254-2086, ext. 2.
So call that number first if the trouble looks public: sewage in the street, or a whole block backing up. We didn’t find a published lateral rule, so use the same call to ask where your part stops. If the answer is your yard, a main drain cleaning or a camera run is the next step.
Why 1973 is an in-between year
Census figures put the median South Roxana house at 1973, a long way from Roxana’s 1949 even though the two sit 1.1 miles apart. Orangeburg was laid until about 1970, so a Madison County village of 2,180 with that median could go either way.
An older house here may still carry it. A newer one that backs up may have some other cause. Footage settles it.
Locating your line
The village’s water department handles JULIE locates. Even so, JULIE members don’t mark private lines, so your lateral may not get painted before a dig, and the state notice period of 2 to 10 days still applies.

South Roxana: sewer and drain questions
Who fixes sewer problems in South Roxana, IL?
The village water department runs the system and repairs sewer issues on it. Call Village Hall and Public Works at (618) 254-2086, ext. 2. If the problem turns out to be on your own line, call us at (618) 740-6058, and a company representative will call you back as soon as possible.
Who is responsible for the sewer line on my South Roxana, IL property?
We haven’t found a published lateral rule for South Roxana, so ask the village at (618) 254-2086, ext. 2. Have your address ready and ask exactly where the owner’s part ends. Get that answer before you budget, because it decides which stretch of pipe is yours to fix.
Does JULIE mark my sewer lateral in South Roxana, IL?
Don’t count on it. JULIE members don’t mark privately installed lines, and the rules also say sewer companies may not locate any portion of a lateral. South Roxana’s water department handles JULIE locates for the village system, so your own line may need to be traced separately.
Is Orangeburg pipe common in South Roxana, IL?
There’s no count, and the median house here dates to 1973, just past the roughly 1970 end of Orangeburg. Older South Roxana houses could still have it. Newer ones that back up may have another cause. A camera run through your line shows what’s there and why it’s failing.
