>> How To Locate Your Cleanout

If you need to locate your cleanout to deal with a sewer line blockage, the following may be helpful. The cleanout is a pipe, usually, but not always, located near the property line that rises from your sewer line to about 4-inches above the ground level and is capped. As a property owner, you are responsible for your cleanout. If the cleanout is buried, a registered plumber should be able to locate and raise it for you. If it is hidden, you may be able to find it by visiting the Engineering Records Website or by calling the DPW File room at (410) 222-7049.

>> Fire Flow Testing Program

The Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works conducts fire flow tests for engineers, developers, and sprinkler design companies. The tests provide actual pressure and flow data measured at specific fire hydrants (FH) within the County's water distribution system. This data is used in assessing the pressure and flow available for fire protection and in sprinkler system design to ensure public safety.
