Be careful what you flush. Tissues, paper towels, baby wipes, diapers or sanitary products should not be flushed down the toilet. Please dispose of those products in the wastebasket.
Toilet tissue is designed to disintegrate quickly so it can safely travel through sanitary sewer pipes. Other products do not break down and will clog pipes. The last thing you want to deal with while sheltering in place is a plumbing problem.
The City of Roseville does regular maintenance on the city’s sewer lines and is responsible for repairs to the main sewer line. The property owner is responsible for sewer repairs from the home or business to the main sewer line. If a person calls a plumber and the problem is determined to be in the main sewer line, the property owner is responsible to pay the plumber for visiting the property.
If you are having trouble with toilets or drains, Roseville property owners should call the Utility Department at 651-792-7004 during regular business hours or 651-767-0640 after business hours. A worker will check the main sewer line to see if it is working properly and notify the owner of its condition.
