The Village has been having trouble with the sewer system getting clogged. Flushing trash leads to service interruptions and expensive repairs to municipal plumbing lines. When a clog or breakdown occurs untreated sewage could backup into your home and neighborhood. If untreated sewage backs up into the streets, it also has a chance of entering our storm drains and waterways. If these clogs continue occurring in the municipal sewer line the cost of repairs could be passed on to users (you and your neighbors) in the form of higher utility fees. By being mindful of what you flush down the toilet, you can protect the Village plumbing system and ensure its efficient operation for years to come.
Sewer customers are responsible for the sewer plumbing inside their structure and the lateral connecting to the sewer main. Municipal sewer issues can be reported to the Village office 315-344-2214; DPW supervisor 315-528-2377; or on call operators 315-778-6554.
