The Village of Baldwinsville DPW states that its Sewer Department answers many calls a year for blocked sewers, that a plug can be in the house lateral, the owner's responsibility, or the sewer main, the village's, that its procedure is to check the main and jet clean it if warranted, and that as a courtesy employees can advise and in some cases try to plunge the sewer vent to relieve a blockage in the lateral.

Baldwinsville runs its own water and sewer: who answers after hours
Baldwinsville is the one place in this metro where a mailing address does not tell you who to call. The village runs its own groundwater supply, about 3,568 connections, and OCWA lists the village as an emergency connection only; outside village limits in the Town of Van Buren, the town sends residents to OCWA. Inside the village the Water and Sewer Department sits within the DPW, and after hours and on holidays it is reached through the DPW's Public Works emergency number, which is printed on the village's own DPW page and newsletter; follow the prompts to the person on call. That one call covers a water break and a sewer backup alike. For a backup it is worth making first: the village checks its main and jets it if warranted, and its crew can sometimes advise or relieve a blocked lateral through the vent, which settles whether a private plumber is needed at all. Village housing also leans to rentals, about 48 percent, and to electric heat, about a third of households, so the typical indoor emergency is an electric water heater in an apartment. Breaker off first, cold inlet closed, then the landlord in writing.
