Sewer Maintenance
The collection system is unique in the fact that Aurora does not have its own treatment plant. All of the sanitary flow goes to the Fox Metro Water Reclamation District that deals with sanitary flow for Aurora and the surrounding towns of Montgomery, Oswego, North Aurora and other unincorporated areas.
The City of Aurora maintains a dual sewer system. The first is a combination system, which is where the rainwater run-off enters catch basins in the older portion of Aurora and then enters into the sanitary sewers. In this system Aurora maintains all size sewers. The second is a separate system whereby the rain water run-off enters the catch basins and goes into its own separate storm sewer system via detention pond systems, creeks and eventually to the Fox River. Within this system, Aurora maintains all sanitary sewers up to 14 inches in diameter, and the Fox Metro Water Reclamation District maintains its interceptor lines 15 inches and larger.
This division also maintains and replaces catch basins, manholes and lift stations and excavates any infrastructure failures.
