Bubbling Toilets? We can explain!

If you have seen the water in your toilet bowl bubbling, there is a logical explanation for this. Rochester Public Works is jetting the sewer system throughout town. When they are jetting the sewer, they shoot high pressure water through the sewer pipe which intersects some residential sewer services. That pressure can make the water in your toilet bowl bubble. The bubbling is not dangerous and is not harmful to your water service. If you have questions regarding the jetting of the sewer contact Rochester Public Works at 507-328-2400, or for questions on RPU water service call RPU at 507-280-1500.
