Sewer Systems in Hoover

A "sewer" is a general term denoting a system for controlling the flow of non-potable waters.  There are two types of sewers in Hoover - sanitary sewers and storm sewers.

Sanitary Sewer refers to the system of pipes and pumping stations that deliver wastewater from homes and businesses to Waste Water Treatment Plants. The City’s Public Works Department maintains sanitary sewer systems, within the public right-of-ways only, in the following areas of the city:

  • In the residential areas of Southlake, Riverchase, and Inverness
  • In the business sections of Southlake and Riverchase
  • In Inverness, the city maintains the sanitary sewer systems at the corner of Valleydale Road and US Highway 280

Storm Sewer refers to the gutters, ditches, drains, culverts, and pipes that are designed to divert and steer the flow of rainwater runoff.

Please call the Public Works Department if you have questions or need additional information - (205) 444-7796.
