The mission of the Sewer Division of the Department of Public Service (DPS) is to effectively maintain the City’s sanitary sewer collection system in order to ensure uninterrupted sewer disposal service to its customers.

The Sewer Division is responsible for providing sanitary sewer collection services to approximately 22,500 residential and business customers.  Sewer revenues are collected exclusively through fees and user charges.  The sanitary sewer system consists of over 343 miles of sanitary sewer main, with approximately 8,140 manholes for system maintenance and access.  Wastewater is disposed of through a direct contract with the Oakland County Water Resource Commission (OCWRC) who subsequently contract for ultimate disposal through the Detroit Water & Sewer Department (DWSD) Wastewater Treatment Plant.
