Help After a Wet-Weather Sewer Backup
For city homeowners dealing with a sewer backup, Baltimore’s consent decree includes reimbursement of up to $5,000 per dwelling, per occurrence for documented disinfection and cleaning costs when wet-weather surcharging in the collection system causes a backup, according to the Baltimore City Department of Public Works.
What Homeowners Can Do After a Sewer Backup
To qualify for the reimbursement program, a capacity-related wet-weather event must include at least 1/2 inch of precipitation within 24 hours and cause sewer lines to surcharge or overflow. Applications must be received within 90 days of the backup, according to Baltimore City Department of Public Works. For eligible backups, DPW’s SOS Cleanup Program can arrange professional cleanup and disinfection at no cost. Residents may receive help through SOS or the reimbursement program, but not both for the same backup, according to Baltimore City DPW.
No Active Weather Alerts
No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Baltimore, and no hazardous weather is expected through Wednesday morning, as noted by National Weather Service. For outdoor plans, Sunday through Wednesday offer the best odds for dry conditions, while Thursday and Friday look like the days to keep an umbrella nearby.
