My sewer backed up into my basement, is the City responsible?

If this would happen, you need to contact the Wastewater department at 605-677-7077 immediately, so we can document the damage. You will also need to go to City Hall and file a claims report that will be sent to the City's insurance adjuster and they will make a decision on whether the City is responsible. For more information, visit the Wastewater page.
