You Can Help Prevent Sewer Spills
There are three easy things you can do to help reduce sewer spills:
- Prevent clogs by putting grease in the trash, not down the drain
- Keep roots out of pipelines by planting trees away from sewer lines
- Do not throw garbage or junk into manholes
When spills do occur, there are strict procedures in place to contain, cleanup and report
them as quickly as possible. Operation, maintenance and repair crews are available
24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, to respond to spills. If you see or smell a sewer spill,
report it immediately by calling (770) 794-5230.
