If the problem is in the sewer main in the street, it is the City's responsibility to resolve the problem. If the problem is in the home or in the lateral between your home and the main, however, repairs and damages are the homeowner's responsibility. If you are experiencing plumbing problems throughout your house, we recommend that you call the City first (269-4340, ext. 226, during normal business hours, or 269-6333 after hours) to avoid getting a bill from your plumber if it turns out to be the City's responsibility.
