The neighborhoods around the park

The residential streets near Tri-City Park are largely established single-family tracts, many slab-on-grade with drains running under the floor. Sewer laterals from the original construction may be clay or cast iron unless they have been replaced.

Because the park sits near where Placentia meets Fullerton and Brea, an address a few blocks away may fall in a different city. The city your address is in determines whose public sewer, permits and inspections apply.

Confirming who handles what

  1. Check your city.Your property tax bill or city services records show which city your address is in.
  2. Identify your water provider.It is named on your water bill.
  3. Ask the city about the sewer.For backups that affect neighbors or questions about the public main, contact your city.
  4. Ask about permits there.Repair permits come from the city where the property sits.

Common drain watch points

  • Main line clogs that recur, which can point to roots in an older lateral
  • Slow kitchen lines in homes with original cast iron
  • Gurgling bathroom fixtures that may signal a partial clog or vent issue
  • Wet patches along the sewer path in the front yard
