Maintaining Corydon's Infrastructure FAQ
If your sewer backs up, call a plumber. Most sewer back up issues occur due to an issue in the resident’s sewer line. If the plumber determines that the back up issue has occurred because of a clog in the main line, call the Town Hall. The Water and Sewer Maintenance Department will jet the main sewer line.
Yes. Twice a year, usually in April and October, the Town flushes all the main water pipes.
Flush the cold-water side of your faucet or spicket for five minutes. If this does not clear the water, call the Town Hall and ask someone to come and flush your system.
No. The water is tested on a regular basis to ensure that the levels of manganese in the water are safe. This testing is overseen by the state agency, IDEM (Indiana Department of Environmental Management).
