Sewer system

The borough flushes its own mains

Lemoyne's Sewer Department posts notices when crews flush sewer mains, such as the overnight flushing on 12th Street from Market Street to West Walnut Street in October 2026. Sewer service rates are set by Borough Council. The department's phone is 717-763-7575, and billing questions go to the borough office at 717-737-6843.

Homes

Prewar houses on the West Shore

In Lemoyne, the median home was built in 1949 (Census estimates), with about 44% built before 1940 and about 67% before 1960. About 26% are attached homes. Houses that age often have cast iron drains and clay laterals. A plunger moves a fresh clog. Buildup in old pipe needs a cable machine, and roots in clay pipe come back unless they are cut out.

Costs

Rates set by council

WGAL reported that sewer rates in Lemoyne would nearly double after Borough Council approved an increase. With rates set locally and billed by the borough, a running toilet or a fixture you keep flushing to push a slow clog costs real money. Fix the clog instead of flushing it through.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Lemoyne

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.
