Knowledge Base

Maintenance of the sanitary sewer collection system is provided by crews from the Infrastructure Maintenance Division and the Water Reclamation Plant. Maintenance is performed to provide free-flow of the wastewater through the system and to prevent blockages that can cause back-ups  and sanitary sewer overflows. These back ups and overflows can be a health risk, in addition to being an inconvenience to the business/home-owner. 

24-hour emergency call number for storm and sanitary sewer back-ups or overflows: 507-328-2640
