Sewer Emergencies

If you're dealing with slow-draining sinks, tubs, or other plumbing issues, it might be more than just a simple clog. Our experienced sewer treatment plant professionals are here to help. When you reach out, we'll send someone to your home or business to inspect the main sewer line and determine whether the issue lies within the Authority's responsibility or your property's plumbing. If the problem falls under our purview, we'll take care of it. If the issue is within your property, we'll provide clear next steps to help resolve the situation. Let us take the guesswork out of your sewer problems—contact us when you have a drainage problem more than a clog in a fixture.
