Laterals
The Sewer Department is NOT responsible for maintaining sewer laterals. The owners are responsible for the lateral from the building to the main, which would include the removal of roots, grass, grease, or other blockages. Though the responsibility of the Town is limited to the sewer mains, the Sewer Department will attempt to remove blockages in the SANITARY lateral on an EMERGENCY basis.

Flow Meters
The Town of Brighton recently purchased new flow monitoring devices to assess our system flows. These monitors track flows in main gravity sewers and our pump stations. The data gathered will be used for future studies related to; capacity management, future development, infiltration, inflow, and necessary improvements to the sanitary sewer systems.
