What To Flush:
New "flushable" products can cause major problems with the aging sewer lines. Your private sewer, our mains and pumps can easily get clogged with these items causing major backups in your basement.
Pharmaceuticals are a growing problem in waste water and ultimately in your drinking water, please dispose of any unused drugs at a drug recycling facility or in with your garbage, not down the drain.

"What To Flush"!
Flooding and heavy rains:
During heavy rain and flooding events the sanitary sewer can become surcharged and flood basements or over flow manholes. This is due to leaks in pipe joints, cross connections, and illegal sump pump connections. During these events you can help by reducing the amount of water that you use in the house, postpone doing laundry, dishes, etc. We are aggressively looking for these problems using the latest sewer cameras, flow meters, night time inspections, and computer software to bring it all together. You can help by checking to be sure that your sump pump is connected to the storm sewer or discharging to the yard. It is a violation to have it connected to the sanitary sewer, if you are not sure, please call and we will come determine where it discharges. If it is determined to be connected to the sanitary you will be responsible to have the discharged changed.
