Report it right away
Strasburg Borough says that if you have or see a water or sewer issue, contact the Strasburg Borough Authority immediately at 717-687-7732. The borough's Public Works Department provides water, sewer and roadway services within the borough. Sewage at a manhole or in the street is theirs.

A 5% rate increase
The Strasburg Borough Authority announced a 5% increase in water and sewer rates effective October 1, 2025. Higher rates make leaks and running toilets cost more. A toilet that keeps refilling after a partial clog, or a drain you keep running water through, is worth fixing.

A historic core and 1970s streets
Half of all Strasburg homes were built before about 1976, Census estimates show, with about 24% built before 1940 and about 46% from 1960 to 1979. The older houses along Main Street can have cast iron and clay pipe. The 1970s homes have 50-year-old drains that collect grease. Either way, repeat clogs mean buildup in the pipe, not bad luck.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Strasburg
Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.
- Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
- Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
- If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
- Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
