EASEMENT CLEARING
The Northeast Public Sewer District (NPSD) is committed to providing reliable, uninterrupted sanitary
sewer service. Sanitary sewer cleaning is a routine operation that results in a debris and blockage free
gravity sanitary sewer system. NPSD crews need to be able to access the sewer system manhole
structures to complete the cleaning activities. If the sewer system is in an area of unmaintained
property, it may be necessary to clear the easement of heavy brush or trees for the crews to have
proper access.
Easement clearing operations will normally be conducted between the hours of 7 a.m. - 3 p.m., Monday
through Friday. Property owners are notified that NPSD crews will be conducting easement clearing
operations on their property by a postcard notice sent thru the US mail.
How are the easements cleared? - If the area has been cleared previously or the growth is not that
thick, a brush hog mower will be used. If the growth is thick, District crews may use a brush cutter
attached to a skid steer, a wood chipper for disposal of material, chain saws or other heavy equipment
as needed. If trees need to be removed, they will be cut down and the stumps removed.
Will the District remove all trees in the easement? - No, only those trees that inhibit access to the sewer
system for cleaning and inspection activity, or those that are causing a problem with the sewer system
will be removed.
If a tree is cut down, can I keep the wood? - Yes, but please contact the District's maintenance
supervisor to coordinate this issue. If we do not hear from you, we will remove the fallen tree from the
area.
What if the equipment used to clear the easement leaves the ground denuded? - If the ground is
denuded, that is stripped of all ground covering leaving bare dirt, the District will seed and straw the
area to re-establish vegetation.
