When is Water on the Street a Bigger Problem?

Sometimes, water on the street after rainfall is by design. Slow-draining sewers keep water on the street and prevent backup in basements. However, if you notice water standing on the street for longer than 48 hours after a rain event, there could be an issue with the storm drain.

How Is Sewer Cleaning Handled?

Once a request has been placed, a Water Management investigator should inspect within 20 days in the summer season or less than 7 days in the winter. If a catch basin does require attention, the cleaning should be completed within 30-60 days.
