Water is backing up in a basement floor drain and I'm not using any water. What is wrong?
If you are not using any facilities and water is backing up, a problem has likely developed in the city's main sewer line and you should call the city for immediate service at (319) 273-8668. This number is available 24 hours a day. Listen carefully to the prompts and select the option to connect with an emergency response crew. There is no charge for this service.
