Mobile Area Water & Sewer System (MAWSS) responded to a wastewater overflow on December 30, 2024 at 4067 Hillcrest Ln.

MAWSS crews have cleared the blockage and are taking steps to prevent further overflows at this location.

This overflow was reported by a concerned citizen.

What We Are Doing 

Preventing Blockages

All sanitary sewer line segments are on regular cleaning cycles, ranging from three months to 10 years. However, if we detect a blockage before the scheduled cleaning, we take immediate action to prevent it from worsening. This proactive approach ensures the smooth functioning of the system and minimizes disruptions.
