    Complaint Description and Writeup

    02-DEC-15 Complainant stated she has sewer Manhole in yard. Has overflowed into yard and into house, busted seal on toilet, ruined floors. Overflow started on Saturday November 28, 2015, sewer was overflowing from man hole uphill from her house, and into her yard. On December 1, 2015, in the morning, the city pulled off the man hole lid in her yard, which further flooded her yard. City came out to her house several times over the last few days.
