At a Northwood property
The City of Northwood describes The Enclave on the former Woodville Mall property as a mixed-use neighborhood with a community center and townhouse development. That redevelopment does not establish the route or condition of an individual drain.
Ask which fixtures use the affected section and where it can be reached. New construction or city sewer work does not prove that a particular drain needs jetting.
