An important step forward for Baltimore! 💧

We’ve expanded our Sewage Onsite Support (SOS) Program to provide free professional cleanup for qualifying sewage backups caused by both wet-weather events and dry-weather blockages in City-owned sewer lines.

We recognize the challenges sewage backups can create for households and sincerely appreciate the residents who have shared their experiences and perspectives with us. We hope this expansion will provide greater peace of mind and meaningful support to those who may experience a sewage backup in the future.

We’re proud to take this important step toward better serving Baltimore households.

Experiencing a backup? Call 311 to report it, and check the link in our bio to learn more about the program and eligibility requirements.
