What Shapes Clogs in Hummelstown
Local numbers that matter for drains here, each with its source.
Lines and pumping stations
Hummelstown Borough's Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining the stormwater and sanitary sewer systems, including sewer lines and pumping stations. The borough bills sewer and refuse quarterly. Pumping stations are where flushed wipes and grease end up, which is why the borough's side of the system cares about what goes down your drains.

Apartments and older houses
The Census Bureau dates the median Hummelstown house to 1965, with about 43% built before 1960. About 32% of homes are in buildings with five or more units and about 46% of households rent. In apartment buildings, kitchen stacks shared by several units collect grease fast, and one tenant's backed-up sink can be the building's problem, not theirs.

Report what goes into storm drains
The borough asks residents who see a suspicious discharge or dumping into the stormwater system to call 717-566-2555. Storm drains go straight to local streams. Grease and cleaning chemicals poured outside end up there, and poured inside they end up coating your drain line.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Hummelstown
Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.
- Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
- Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
- If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
- Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
