What action should be taken if a sewer ball is stuck during operation?

The recommended action of notifying operations for assistance is a prudent and safe approach when a sewer ball is stuck during operation. This action ensures that trained personnel can assess the situation and determine the best course of action without risking further complications or damage.

In many cases, trying to apply more pressure may exacerbate the situation, potentially causing damage to equipment or creating obstructions in the sewer system. Manually attempting to retrieve the stuck ball could also pose safety risks and lead to further complications, especially if the ball is located in a hard-to-reach area. Continuing operations without addressing the issue could lead to operational failures or environmental hazards. Therefore, involving operations personnel allows for a coordinated response that addresses the problem effectively while prioritizing safety and efficiency.
