Sewer has a natural tendency to produce odors; all sewers have odors. The plumbing system in your home is designed to prevent these odors from entering the house by using a vapor trap. If you are experiencing odors, you may have problems with the trap, a broken lateral or collapsed sewer main. If you are experiencing odors, please call the District at pager (207) 580-3175 so we may assess the situation. Once we determine the problem, you will be notified if you need to call a plumber.
