What Shapes Clogs in Wrightsville
Local numbers that matter for drains here, each with its source.
A municipal authority on Water Street
The Wrightsville Borough Municipal Authority handles water, sewer and trash billing from the municipal office at 601 Water Street. Its 2024 rate sheet lists a sewer connection fee of $778 and a tapping fee of $2,335. Those fees apply to new connections. For an existing house, the lateral and drains are the owner's to keep clear.
Old river-town houses
The typical Wrightsville home dates to 1944, by Census estimates, with about 46% built before 1940 and about 70% before 1960. About 23% are attached homes. Houses that old usually started with cast iron and clay pipe. When a toilet backs up and a plunger only helps for a while, the pipe itself is often the problem.

Rain on the riverfront
The Landisville 2 NW station shows a 1991-2020 normal near 45 inches a year, with around 11 one-inch days. In old laterals, saturated ground means more water in the pipe. That is when basement floor drains gurgle and the lowest toilet is slow.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Wrightsville
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.
