Council authorizes sewer-camera inspections after resident reports recurring backups

Miles City Council · August 12, 2026

Summary

After resident Jesse Jepsen reported repeated sewer clogs at a rental property, the Miles City Council authorized Maintenance Supervisor Paul Maze to arrange camera inspections of both the resident and city sides and to proceed with necessary repairs if the problem falls under city responsibility.

The Miles City Council on Aug. 12 authorized city maintenance staff to investigate recurring sewer backups reported at a rental property. Resident Jesse Jepsen told the council the property had experienced repeated clogs and backups; Maintenance Supervisor Paul Maze requested permission to have BWC (Brandon) camera both the resident’s side and the city’s side of the sewer line to locate the source.

Council members voted to authorize Maze to proceed with necessary repairs if the inspection identifies the cause and the work is within the City’s responsibility. The minutes record that the council delegated authority to Maze to move forward with repairs once responsibility is established, but do not list an estimated cost or a firm contractor quote in the minutes.
