Danvers runs about 125 miles of gravity sewer, four miles of force main and fourteen pump stations serving roughly 8,300 properties, and every gallon ends up at the South Essex Sewerage District plant in Salem after being measured at the Doty Avenue Pump Station. Two local rules drive a large share of the drain work here. Where a basement's sewage discharge sits below the rim of the nearest public sewer manhole, the town's sewer regulations require a backwater valve, citing 248 CMR 10.00 and a Board of Health regulation adopted January 22, 1970. And sump pumps may not be connected to the sewer - there is no grandfathering, the fine is $300 per day, and the town inspects every home prior to sale to determine sump pump status.

The Town of Danvers prohibits sump pumps from being connected to the sewer system, citing Sewer Use Regulations Art. IV Section 1 and 314 CMR 12.04. There is no grandfathering for existing connections and a violation is punishable by a fine of $300 per day. Sump pump water must discharge to a lawn, garden area or storm drain. All homes are inspected prior to selling, whether or not they have a sump pump, to determine sump pump status. The town will not disconnect the pump - the property owner is responsible for hiring a professional or doing it themselves.
Where the discharge elevation of sewage from a building's basement service is below the rim elevation of the closest public sewer manhole, a backwater valve must be installed before the sewer connection exits the building, per the Danvers DPW Sewer Use and Regulations, in accordance with the State Uniform Plumbing Code 248 CMR 10.00 and a Danvers Board of Health Regulation adopted January 22, 1970.
The Danvers Engineering Division publishes a CIPP map covering Sewer Manhole Inspections 2024, indicating an active cured-in-place-pipe sewer rehabilitation and inspection programme in the town's mains.
Danvers' sewer system comprises over 125 miles of gravity sewer main, 4 miles of sewer force main and 14 sewer pump stations serving approximately 8,300 connections, with all flow going to the South Essex Sewerage District plant in Salem for discharge to Salem Sound.
