Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)
934 W 6th ST

Raw sewage from cleanout all over between sidewalk and street. This has happened sporadically for years, but several times in the last month.
Raw sewage from cleanout all over between sidewalk and street. This has happened sporadically for years, but several times in the last month.
There is a sewer access in the verge in front/slightly to the west of 930 w 6th. It looks like it has overflowed with sewage waste. It has happened a couple of times before and I believe it was cleaned up but this week it overflowed badly again and there’s currently no cap on the pipe.
Sewer is backing up into the basement of the home. The plumber ran 100 ft of sewer cable through the basement cleanout. Pulled back wipes and roots. Line not open. Tested line by flushing toilet and running kitchen sink. Line tested bad. There’s only 55 ft from basement drain to middle of the street. Plumber ran 100ft of Sewer cable without meeting obstruction.
There are holes in our line: one under the sidewalk, one under the street. They need to be fixed ASAP (we discovered the holes when a plumber was clearing a major clog the holes caused) and we need to know whose responsibility it is to take care of the issues under the road/sidewalk. The estimated cost of repair is incredibly high, and we're trying to find out what options/assistance might be available. Thank you for any information you can provide!
As can be seen in the photo there are three dry creek beds (swales) feeding the area where the runoff water is pooling during a heavy rain fall. Cause of the pooling is the drain through a small ridge is eroded and clogged up. City needs to remedy this issue.
Habitually wet and often smelly sidewalk on north side of Cottage Grove, midway between Lincoln to the east and 213 E. Cottage Grove to the west. Leaky sewer line (?)
Main sewer line backup…???
Sewer water is coming up through my basement floor drain due likely to a blockage somewhere in the sewer pipe line.
It seems like raw sewage as well as toilet paper is coming out of this clean out for 414 s Lincoln street rental property. This seems like the second one of these situations in this Lincoln and University location.
On December there was a frozen pipe that leaked into the kitchen floor and not into the sewer. Can you please look into this and consider giving me a credit? If you notice my previous bill, it was 103.38. Thanks,
