De Kalb is a town in St. Lawrence County, New York, USA. Our population was 2,434 at the 2010 census. The town is named after American general Baron de Kalb, a German officer serving under George Washington.
The Town of De Kalb is in the southwest part of the county and is southwest of the Village of Canton.

CONSTRUCTION NOTICE
Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation and Sanitary Sewer Lining
DeKalb, NY October 2025
Precision Trenchless LLC, to conduct sewer rehabilitation work in your area. The work will be completed using a special “NO DIG” method, which is used to repair old or defective sewers without the need to dig up the street for this phase of the work. Workers will use a flexible lining material and place it in the sewer pipe. With Ultraviolet light catalyst, it will become a rigid reinforcement for the existing pipe and will last for more than 70 years. This process allows for repairs to be made with minimal homeowner/business disruption and a decreased inconvenience to your family and patrons.
This work will be done between the hours of 0700-1700 (7AM-5PM).
YOU’LL RECEIVE NOTICE 24-HOURS PRIOR TO PROJECT START DATE
During the installation period YOUR SEWERS WILL BE TEMPORARILY BLOCKED OFF.
PLEASE LIMIT YOUR USE OF WATER.
Minimal use of the toilet or washing hands is acceptable, however heavy usage such as laundry, showering and running water for extended periods of time must be avoided.
THIS IS TO PREVENT SEWAGE BACKING UP INTO YOUR HOME OR BASEMENT.
• IMPORTANT: any sump pumps or other sanitary cross connections shall be disconnected from the system. Failure to do this will cause a backup of sewage into your home.
Please note:
Sewer cleaning work will be performed prior to the installation of the pipe liner. This will involve the flushing of the sanitary sewers with
high pressure water. This operation in rare occurrences can cause back pressure resulting in either air or water surcharge in toilets and other plumbing devices.
It is recommended that all toilet seats be kept down if a pressure build-up causes a spray.
It is also recommended that you fill the traps on all drains (floor, sink, etc.) with water, prior to the above notice time, to reduce the likelihood of odors caused by the pipe- lining curing process.
In the unlikely event that you experience this problem, please open windows until the odor disappears.
For further information or questions please contact:
