Smell of raw sewage from 46 bypass over Old State Road 37 (Cascades area).
Smithville was installing cables and it caused our drains to back up into the house. Are the pipes broken or blocked?
There has been a strong smell of raw sewage along the Jackson Creek Trail near the bridge between Olcott Park and Sherwood Oaks park the last two days.

Around 11:15pm tonight my basement toilet erupted, spewing sewage that covered a huge area of the floor. I called the city hotline and was told to call a plumber, even when I said my next -door neighbor had the same thing happen a few months ago. The word “clog” in spray paint is still very visible on the street in front of my house where the city came and cleared the pipe. I just spent the past 4 hours cleaning the filth up, which included lots of hardened blobs of fat, cigarette butts, and other things that obviously did not come from my house. I am going to get a plumber in tomorrow, but can the city please investigate, as I am very nervous about a recurrence. Thank you.
I just have a question. I live at 214 E Hillside. There have been crews there the last 2 nights working on sewers. Last night we got a strong adhesive type smell in the house while they were working. We realized it was coming from an old kitchen drain that wasn't capped. I'm just curious what we were smelling. We've aired the house out, and I plan on properly capping the unused drain, but I want to make sure we weren't exposed to anything harmful. We asked a worker and he said it wasn't harmful, but can you please explain what that smell was. We're also curious if you'll be working on hillside all week.
There appears to be sewage coming up onto the street. It has been this way for about a week or so. It often smells bad when walking by and it looks like solid human waste as well as toilet paper is on the street. There was construction done on this part of the street sometime in the past month. This morning I noticed new, what I think is sewage, on in this area, mixed with the old waste that has been there for a few weeks. The odor was strong again today.
