OMAG has partnered with Duke’s Root Control Inc. since 2018 to provide guaranteed sewer root control treatments to participating municipalities. The City will contract directly with Duke’s Root Control Inc. for the services. OMAG offers no guarantees or warranties, either implied or expressed, in addition to those granted by Duke’s Root Control Inc.

The OMAG Sanitary Sewer Root Control Grant is a 1:1 MATCHING FUNDS grant with a $5,000 maximum per participating municipality.  Grants will be disbursed on a first-come-first-serve basis and can be submitted anytime during the calendar year. Municipalities using this grant for the first time will receive priority over those that have received this grant previously.  If OMAG receives more applications than available funding, the OMAG Risk Management Department will maintain a waiting list and will notify those on the list of their placement.

Effective July 1, 2023 members may only be awarded the Root Control Grant for a cumulative total of 4 applications. The cumulative total is from the inception of the program in 2018 (not as of July 2023). OMAG encourages members to adopt and budget for effective root control in their sewer collection systems.  It is our hope that after using this grant, and having experienced its benefits, governing bodies will consider adding root control to the yearly budget.

If your application is approved, Brian Conroy from Duke’s Root Control, Inc. will contact you directly to make further arrangements.  Duke’s will bill you directly for your half of the fee.
