Sewer Cleaning Inspection
Sewer structures (i.e., catch basins) full of dirt or debris, or sewer structures that are not draining properly, can be reported for cleaning. Pertinent information to report includes the approximate address and the location (i.e., near the curb, in the street, or in the alley) of the structure.
Cleaning of catch basins on private property is the responsibility of the property owner.
The Department of Water Management follows a cleaning and maintenance schedule for all sewer structures in the City of Chicago.
