Description
Resident contacted us to say that her family member who lives in this apartment has been having sewage backups in her apartment for weeks now and the landlord has not responded to her requests. She reports seeing dirt and debris coming out of her sinks and say that she feels like it may be the construction of a new home nearby. We also forwarded her to the Board of Health to file a complaint regarding the landlord's lack of response but we are submitting this to Water to do a check to see if there is a blockage on the City side.

The Waste Water Crew has Checked main waste water transmittal lines and has witnessed good flow velocities without restrictions from debris or construction materials, which leads us to believe this maybe an internal issue on the properties waste water lateral or design. Our plan is to revisit daily due peak and off peak demands to evaluate your concerns. Meanwhile if there are any concerns during our investigation or changes I will reach out to you, or you can call 781-397-7164 and ask for John DeSantis.
Thank you
