What can I do about sewer odors?

Try to determine if the odor is coming from inside the house or outside in the street. If an odor is coming from inside the home, there may be a problem with the internal plumbing system. Check your internal system first or call a plumbing company for assistance. If the odor or problem exists outdoors, call the District at 415-259-2949.
