Last winter our home experienced damage from a blocked city sewer line. In the process to mitigate the flood 150 gallons of sewage water was dumped onto our back yard. The snow has melted and it is spring. We would like to know if it is advisable to treat our lawn that was affcted? If so what should we apply?

Expert Response
