Sewers Emergencies
The Division of Sanitary Sewers maintains a 24-hour answering service for sanitary
sewer calls, line stoppages, sewage back-ups, odor problems, etc. That number is
(859) 425-2255 . After Hours, call (859) 425-2255 and Push 1.
Odor Issues
We are diligently working to reduce and eliminate odors from our
treatment facilities. Please call (859) 425-2255 to report odor complaints.
If you are having problems with your sewer lines, you may be surprised to learn that the
LFUCG crew will find the source of the problem by sending a tiny television camera down the
nearest manhole, through the underground lines and then viewing the results on two television
monitors inside the panel truck.
