Municipal wastewater departments face a constant challenge—keeping sewer systems clear and reliable while staying within budget. Tree root intrusions are a leading cause of blockages, backups, and costly emergency repairs. The good news: municipalities can achieve long-term savings and improved performance by integrating RootX into their sewer maintenance and root control programs.

RootX is an EPA-registered general-use root control product trusted by municipalities nationwide. Its proven foaming formula kills roots on contact and prevents regrowth for up to 24 months. When used regularly, RootX extends the lifespan of sewer lines and reduces the need for frequent cutting or costly pipe replacement. Unlike mechanical methods that can stimulate new root growth, RootX coats the entire pipe diameter for lasting protection without harming infrastructure.

The cost-saving benefits go well beyond maintenance. Fewer emergency blockages mean less overtime, lower contractor costs, and fewer disruptions for residents. Municipalities using RootX as part of a proactive wastewater maintenance plan can redirect funds from reactive repairs to planned improvements—boosting efficiency and public satisfaction.

RootX also fits easily into existing workflows. In-house crews can apply it using standard sewer maintenance equipment, making it a simple, affordable solution for long-term municipal root control.

By adding RootX to their preventive maintenance programs, cities can protect infrastructure, control budgets, and ensure reliable service for years to come.
