Sewer

Clogged Sewer Line

As a courtesy to our residents, we ask that you call the Public Works Department at 972-919-2597 for your clogged sewer issues before contacting a private plumber. A crew with the Utilities Division will respond to see if the blockage is in the City-owned portion of the pipe before you incur a private expense.

Residents can help prevent clogged sewer lines by keeping fats, oil, grease and greasy food scraps out of the sink or garbage disposal. By using strainers to catch food scraps, refraining from using the garbage disposal and collecting cooking grease in a sealed container for disposal, you can stop fats, oil and grease from polluting the City’s sewer pipes and drains.
