Sewer and drain service in Troy, IL
Troy’s own FAQ hands the lateral to the homeowner. Clearing, repairing or replacing that pipe is a sewer job, so you can skip the plumber here.
The split, in Troy’s words
The city’s FAQ is short on this: the homeowner repairs the lateral and the city repairs the main. It also lists a $4,850 tap-on fee and a $100 sewer inspection. If you’re connecting a new house, budget for those two beside the installation itself, and call to confirm they haven’t moved.
Who to phone at the city
Three numbers cover most questions, all from the Building Information page:
- Building and Zoning, 116 E Market Street: (618) 667-8734
- Public Works: (618) 667-9924
- Wastewater plant: (618) 667-6751
A 1992 median changes the question
Half of Troy’s houses are newer than 1992, going by the Census median, so the old-pipe story often won’t fit. A backup in a younger line may come from a different cause, and footage sorts that out.
The EPA’s list shows a permit under the City of Troy on Center Street. Maryville is 3.9 miles away and Glen Carbon 5.3, and we’re 12.5 miles off in Granite City.

Troy: sewer and drain questions
Who pays to fix a sewer lateral in Troy, IL?
The homeowner does, by the city’s own FAQ, which says the homeowner repairs the lateral and the city repairs the main. If a camera shows the trouble is out at the main, Troy Public Works at (618) 667-9924 is the call. Everything from your house out to that point is yours.
How much is the sewer tap-on fee in Troy?
The city of Troy lists its tap-on at $4,850 and a sewer inspection at $100. Those are the city’s charges, separate from whatever the digging and pipe cost. Fees change, so confirm with Building and Zoning at (618) 667-8734, 116 E Market Street, before you settle a budget for a new connection.
Why would a newer house in Troy back up?
Age isn’t the only cause of a blocked line. Troy’s median house dates to 1992, after the Orangeburg years ended, so a backup there may have another explanation. We won’t guess at it over the phone, because camera footage shows what’s in the pipe. Call (618) 740-6058 and leave your details.
Who runs the sewage treatment plant in Troy, Illinois?
The EPA’s list shows a permit under the City of Troy, on Center Street, and the city’s building page gives a wastewater plant number of (618) 667-6751. A permit on file names the holder, so check with the plant or with Public Works if you need something more specific about your address.
