Sewer and drain service in Trenton, IL
Trenton has numbers for the city’s side, day and after hours. The line running out from your foundation is another matter, and that takes a sewer company.
Trenton gives you two numbers
The city’s departments page lists City Hall at 14 West Broadway and Public Works at (618) 224-7323. After hours, water and sewer emergencies go to (618) 224-9226. Save both. If sewage is surfacing in the street, those numbers come before ours.
We found no published Trenton rule on who owns which piece of a lateral, so ask Public Works about your address. On your own line, our emergency page covers a live backup and main drain cleaning covers a clog.
Built around the end of Orangeburg
The Census median in this Clinton County city of 2,673 is 1972. Orangeburg ran to about 1970, so Trenton’s older half falls within those years. Your house could be on either side of the line. Aviston, 4.1 miles off, reads 1995, and Summerfield, 3.6 miles off, reads 1976.
A camera sorts that out, and you keep the footage. The EPA’s list shows TRENTON STP (IL0026701) on North Oak Street, a permit on file that says nothing about your own connection.

Trenton: sewer and drain questions
Who do I call for a sewer emergency in Trenton, IL after hours?
For the city’s lines, the after-hours water and sewer number is (618) 224-9226. During the day, Public Works answers at (618) 224-7323. If the problem is inside your house or on your own line, call us at (618) 740-6058, where an automated line answers at any hour.
Where is City Hall in Trenton, IL?
It’s at 14 West Broadway, and it shares (618) 224-7323 with the Public Works director’s office. Ask there about who owns your lateral, because we found no published rule for Trenton. Have your address ready, along with what the drains are doing when you call them.
Could my Trenton, IL home have Orangeburg pipe?
It could, particularly in the older half. Trenton’s median house dates to 1972, and Orangeburg went in until about 1970, so that median falls right at the end of it. Plenty of homes will be newer. A camera in your own lateral shows you which side you’re on.
Is Trenton, IL in Clinton County a service area for you?
Yes. Trenton is 25.2 miles from Granite City, inside the 30 miles we work, and Clinton County is included. Call (618) 740-6058 and leave your address and what’s happening. A company representative calls back as soon as possible, and we can go through it from there.
