Q. Do most sanitary sewers work
by gravity?
A. Gravity sewers serve nearly all of the houses and businesses in Ann Arbor.
Most sanitary sewers work by gravity, and the sanitary sewer pipes usually
follow existing land contours to reduce pumping. Sometimes, we have to pump
sewage from a low area or over a hill via pump station. Because of the
topography of Ann Arbor, the City has very few pump stations.
