Contact SESD
We’re Here to Help
SESD provides sewer treatment services to five member communities as well as parts of Middleton and several State-owned facilities. Please feel free to contact us if you want to learn more about what we do or have questions.
We also understand that you may notice nuisance odors on occasion in the vicinity of our facilities. Please reach out to us if that is the case and we will do our best to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
SESD does not own or maintain the sanitary sewers or stormwater outfalls in our member communities (with the exception of a few large, shared collector pipes called interceptors). Therefore, we are not able to repair sewer laterals or breaks in sewer pipes beneath your neighborhood streets. For help on resolving breaks or backups in your local sewers, please reach out to the Department of Public Works or Engineering Departments in your local community. We have provided some key contact information below.
For after hours emergencies or odor complaints, please contact the Operator on Duty:
(978) 744-4550 x116
Normal business hours are 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday.
For general questions, questions about contract bid notices, careers, or to learn more about the District, please contact us during business hours at our main number (978) 744-4550.
