Hydro Jetting in Glendale, California
Short answer: Glendale is its own city, not part of the City of Los Angeles, so LASAN does not run the sewer mains here. The city’s Public Works Maintenance Services handles the public sewer mains. The private line from a building to the main is generally the owner’s, but confirm the local rules with the city.
