There is flooding in the street in front of my home or at an intersection near me during a storm event. Who should I call?

The Sanitary District is responsible for surface drainage from streets. You can report blocked street drains or flooding, after the storm has abated, to the District at 219-874-7799. Please keep in mind that during storm events the District must prioritize incoming calls and may not address surface drainage until after homeowner blockage or backup calls are completed. You are requested to wait with this type of call until after the storm has abated to allow the problems, with possibly overloaded sewer lines, to resolve themselves.
