Tips to help prevent sanitary sewer backups (pdf)
When rain falls in Beech Grove, it runs off of rooftops, parking lots, lawns and other surfaces into the city's stormwater drainage system. Many parts of the city lack adequate storm sewers and drainage, leading to standing water in yards and flooded streets and basements.

Fats, oils and grease are an unhealthy and expensive problem in our city sewers. Do your part to comply with the law and keep our sewers flowing.

Whether your home is connected to the sanitary sewer or a combined sewer, it's important for you to have a Correct Connect.
Each household or business that redirects stormwater out of the sewer helps prevent sewage from backing up into our basements or overflowing into our waterways.
