Hello?
Hi, this is the 9-1-1 Center.
Okay, I'm down here at my house at 33 Polk and there's a lot of sewer back up and water
in my whole basement.
There's probably nothing you can do, but I thought there's no one down here.
Maybe the city needs to know.
Okay, you're not supposed to be in your house still.
Well, we weren't.
I just came to pick up because I was out of town and I got a pass and we're just getting
out of here.
Okay, I wanted to be sure you weren't staying there.
No, but is this normal that everyone in this area is getting sewer back up right now?
It kind of sounds that way.
And they can't shut it up.
I mean, it's like sewer back up could take the whole house?
You know, I really don't know.
The problem is they're having problems with the lift station.
Is it just in this area of town, do you know, or what?
It sounds like it's starting to be all over town.
Okay.
Okay.
Just wanted you to know.
Alright, thank you.
