Typical Problems to Report

  • Liquid discharge from a street manhole cover.
  • Liquid seeping from a spot in the street that is otherwise dry.
  • Sewage odor in a neighborhood that is connected to sewers. In this case, also contact the local or regional Health Dept/District. Some homes in neighborhoods recently connected to sewers may not have completed their sewage hookup and therefore are still regulated by the health agency.
