Sewer Televising Program

Weekly Update

Sewer Crews are currently working within the southwestern section of the City.

When Work Occurs

Inspection will occur by televising and cleaning public sewer lines in your area. Work on your street or rear yard sewer easement will commence within 7-days upon receipt of this Notice during the hours of 7 am to 5 pm. Monday through Friday.

Where Work Occurs

The project work will occur within the sanitary sewers and manholes which are located in rear yard areas and within public streets throughout the City. A large number of sewer manholes are located in rear yard easements and alleyways. As a result, it may be necessary for the Contractor to access some properties to gain entry to these manholes. If you are one of these property owners, we ask your permission and cooperation so the contractor may expediently perform their tasks. In rear yard easements, work will generally be performed with hand-held or wheel-mounted equipment to prevent damage to turf grass areas in yards.

What Happens During Cleaning Work

During work, some residents may or may not experience water and/or odor coming from your drains or toilets. We ask that you keep the toilet lids closed, weighted, and if possible, place a towel between the lid and seat to reduce potential water spray from the toilet bowl. To reduce the chance of odor, please add water to all floor drains. During and/or immediately following the cleaning process the sewer will be televised to evaluate their condition.

Contact Information

Residents with questions or concerns regarding this work, please do not hesitate to contact the City of Grosse Pointe Park DPW Supervisor Tom Jenny at 313-822-5100 or the contractors.
