Sewer Line Repair in Sun City West, Camera First, No Guessing
Recurring backups, gurgling drains, sewage smell without a visible cause. The problem may be underground. The camera goes in the line first, same day on most calls. You see the footage before anybody talks about digging.
EPCOR treats Sun City West's wastewater and then puts it back to work, irrigating public space or recharging underground for later use. That is the system your line runs into at the street.
Where a Sun City West Sewer Line Actually Goes
EPCOR handles Sun City West's wastewater along with its water, and what it treats does not simply disappear: the community's wastewater is recycled to irrigate public spaces and parks, or recharged underground for later use. That is the system your line runs into at the street. The line between your house and that connection is yours, and here it has been in the ground since somewhere between 1978 and 1997, the years Del Webb built the community. Two local conditions work on a line that age. Caliche runs through Sun City West, particularly in the original phases, and on many lots it sits just inches below the surface, restricting drainage and making any dig slower. And University of Arizona Extension puts 20 feet as the safe distance between a large shade tree and a sewer lateral, which is more room than a lot of these properties have with mature landscaping and seven golf courses worth of trees in the community. A camera shows which of those, if either, is actually your problem.
The line between the house and that connection belongs to the homeowner, and in Sun City West it has been in the ground since somewhere between 1978 and 1997. A camera inspection shows what is in it without digging for the answer.

Sewer, and the same company handles both ends of it. EPCOR supplies the water and treats the wastewater here, then recycles it to irrigate public spaces and parks or recharges it underground.
