Most of Lewisville is served by the City-County Utilities Commission's sewer, though some rural-zoned parts of town may not be on municipal sewer. A sewer camera inspection in Lewisville shows what's inside the pipe between your house and that system, from roots to a sagging section, and where it is.

How Lewisville is served
Lewisville, incorporated in 1991, has an agreement with the City-County Utilities Commission (CCUC), which provides water and sewer. The town shares the cost of extending sewer: CCUC covers 38% of the non-assessable costs, such as force mains and pump stations, and the town pays the rest. Lewisville also has a Rural Overlay, where package treatment plants built to CCUC standards are allowed, and some rural-zoned areas are likely not on municipal sewer. So the pipe a camera inspects may end at a CCUC main, a package plant connection, or a private onsite system.
Housing here runs older than many suburbs. The median Lewisville home dates to 1987 and about 35% were built before 1980, much of it 1970s through 1990s construction around Shallowford Square and along Lewisville-Vienna and Shallowford roads. Lines from that era can be clay, cast iron or early plastic, and decades of tree growth on wooded lots give roots time to find a joint. A camera answers the question a snake can't: whether a repeat clog comes from something in the pipe or from the pipe itself.
Picking the next step
| What the camera finds | Typical next step |
|---|---|
| Grease, wipes or debris, pipe in good shape | Clean the line, often with a jetter |
| Roots at one or two joints | Cut roots, then consider a spot repair |
| One sag or broken section | Targeted repair at the marked spot |
| Cracks or roots along much of the run | Discuss lining or replacement |
Signs to watch
- Two or more drains slowing at the same time
- Bubbling in a toilet when the washer empties
- Dirty water in a ground-floor shower
- A wet cleanout cap or sewer odor in the yard
A single slow fixture is usually its own clog. Several at once means the shared line.
Timing and seasonal notes
Roots grow most actively in the warm months, so a line with a root problem may slow down more noticeably in late spring and summer. Fall, after leaf drop, is a good time to have the route located before planting new trees. If a repair needs a permit, Lewisville's plumbing permits go through the joint Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Inspections Division (336-727-2624).
