No; if the Wastewater Service map indicates that you do not have functioning sewer service (interactive), please DO NOT flush toilets or allow water down any household drain. Although your toilet may flush and water may drain initially, if the service is not functional, you risk eventual sewage backing up into the house or out of downstream manholes.
