What if a tree or tree branch damaged my property or is growing into my sewer or water line?
(1) If you believe a tree or branch has damaged your property please call 510-231-3075.

(2) When you hire a company to make repairs to your sewer or water line and all permits are obtained from the Engineering Division 510-307-8091 make sure pictures of the roots are taken and call 510-231-3075 to view the roots with the trench still open. You can then file a claim with the City Clerk's Office 510-620-6513 for reimbursement of costs.
