Tell us what the water is doing, whether it has stopped and whose home it is. A person reads every request and matches it to a licensed, insured plumber for the part that cannot wait. We cannot promise how soon a request sent at night is read, so close the main shutoff first.

Would you rather talk it through? Call (315) 640-3590.

Once you press send

A person reads it. It is not sold to lead buyers and it is not an auto-reply: someone looks at whether the water has stopped, what is near power or gas, and whose home it is.
Your request goes to a licensed, insured plumber who works your town, who contacts you on the number you give. If it sounds like the utility's pipe rather than yours, you are told that instead.
There is no phone number on this site yet. We would rather say so than print one we cannot vouch for, so the form is the way in. While you wait, keep the main shutoff closed and photograph everything before it is moved.

Five entries are mandatory: name, phone number, email, the property's street address and its ZIP code. The questions and the message box can be skipped. The ZIP code picks the plumber who covers that town, the street line tells them which house, and the address never appears in our logs.

Planning

One East Syracuse double, two households, two claims

East Syracuse has the highest share of two unit buildings in the metro, an estimated 38 percent of village homes, in a village where more than half the housing predates 1940 and nearly half of households rent. In a stacked double, water from an upstairs bath comes through the downstairs ceiling, and a shared service or a shared sewer line means one failure can leave two families without water. So the first hour has one extra step here: tell the neighbor and the owner at once, not in the morning, and photograph both units before anything is moved, because each household's insurer will want to see its own damage. Stopping the water is the same as anywhere OCWA supplies: the valve you are allowed to use sits inside the foundation wall where the pipe comes in, and the curb stop at the road is for OCWA staff only. If the problem is sewage coming up rather than clean water coming down, the village is inside the county's Consolidated Sanitary District, and WEP takes backup calls at any hour on 315-435-3157 to check the public side before a private crew is booked.

Next Step

Water coming through an East Syracuse ceiling?

Close the main valve, warn the other unit, then send what is happening. A licensed plumber handles the part that cannot wait; the permanent repair can wait for both insurers.

Onondaga County WEP asks residents with sewage backing up to call 315-435-3157, which it answers at any time, every day, for properties connected to the public sewer inside the Consolidated Sanitary District. For City of Syracuse properties it directs the call to the City Department of Public Works on 315-448-CITY, 315-448-2489, and outside the district to the town or village, usually its DPW. Properties not on public sewer are told to contact a licensed plumber or service expert.

Section 4.4 of the OCWA Customer Rules states that the curb stop valve may not be used by the customer to turn the water on or off and is to be operated exclusively by an Authority employee. Section 4.5 requires the customer to install two shutoff valves, the first inside the building wall no further than 12 inches from that wall, and the second adjacent to the meter.
