My tub (or sink) is draining slowly, is my sewer plugged?
If only 1 fixture is draining slowly, the problem is usually with the plumbing in the house. If all of your drains are draining slowly the problem may be in the house lateral connection to the sewer main or the main itself. If you suspect this is the problem, call the Public Works Department at 253-841-5505, and a crew will be dispatched to investigate the problem and clean the sewer line if necessary. It's important to remember that the city's responsibility ends at your property line.
