- Staff · December 18, 2025Wastewater Collections staff do not have the authority, training, or regulatory responsibility to address vermin, insects, or pest infestations such as rodents or roaches. These matters fall outside the scope of collections system maintenance and are typically managed through public health or pest control channels. From a maintenance standpoint, Wastewater Collections can inspect the sewer infrastructure serving the area and perform routine cleaning as needed to ensure proper flow and confirm that there are no blockages, debris accumulation, or netting within the system that could contribute to sanitary concerns. Beyond inspection and cleaning of the sewer assets, no additional corrective action related to vermin or insect activity can be provided by collections maintenance. If concerns regarding rodents, roaches, or other pests persist, the appropriate next step is to contact the local Health Department, which can evaluate the conditions and determine whether further action or enforcement is required.
