How do tree roots enter sewer lines?
Sewer: Tree Roots
Tree roots do not enter sewer lines unless there is a break that leaks moisture and provides an opening encouraging root penetration. Penetration can be remedied by excavation and repair of the faulty sewer pipe. 

The property owner is responsible for the construction, maintenance, and repair of house connection sewer lines. This is not altered by the fact that that roots of trees growing in the street caused clogging of the sewer line." The privilege is granted to the house owner to connect his house with the main publicly owned street sewer, and the duty to keep clean the privately owned sewer rests upon the owner of such house connecting sewer, not upon the City. 

For more information or should you have questions, please contact Bobby Blackburn at (714) 229-6760.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
