Emergencies / Sewer Spills
Sewage spills must be reported ASAP!
If you see raw sewage coming from an overflow device (such as a mushroom cap) next to a building, it is likely a stoppage in the sewer lateral and the responsibility of the property owner - the property owner should call a plumbing company to service their sewer line.
If you believe the issue is in the Sewer District main line or you believe there are issues with a sewer district pump station, call (415) 485-3374.
If you are calling to report a spill after 5:00pm, or on a weekend or holiday, call the Police Department at (415) 485-3000.
