This letter is to update everyone in the city about the ordinance adopted March 2012.  There will not be an inspector going out, but if Utilities flushes the main sewer line and it backs up into a house; the City of Manchester will not be held responsible.  It is the homeowner's responsibility to make sure this part is in place to prevent sewage back up.
