The District owns the pubic sewer or main, but the house service is owned by the property owner.

The District representative is not allowed to do work on private property for liability reasons. They will offer advice to the homeowner about how to proceed with cleaning or repairing the service line. Many newer homes have clean outs on the line after it passes through the foundation. This is a point where the homeowner would get cleaning equipment in to “snake out” a clog.

Here’s a list of a few other items that cannot be recycled and should always be disposed of in a trash receptacle:

• Diapers and baby wipes, even those labeled “flushable”
• Tampons and sanitary pads, personal care wipes
• Cleaning/disinfecting wipes and disposable toilet brushes
• Paper towels
• “Disposable” contact lenses
• Cigarette butts
• Dental floss and toothpicks
• Cat litter or animal waste
• Toys, or anything made of plastic, including plastic coffee stirrers

The District was created to supplement and not to replace and/or supplant city or county services provided in the District of Kendleton, Texas.
