The only reason we are open is because we have hired a tanker to collect all of our wash water so that nothing enters the sewer lines.
If everyone makes an huge effort to restrict water usage at home, hopefully we can all return to normal soon!
The Municipality is once again falling behind at the lift stations. Although conditions may appear normal at the surface, they are not; significant groundwater continues to enter the sanitary sewer system and is placing extreme pressure on municipal infrastructure.
Residents are asked to reduce water use wherever reasonably possible, including laundry, long showers, dishwashing, and other non-essential water use. We understand that conserving water is challenging, but every reduction helps prevent sewer backups and system failures.
Sump pumps and groundwater must not discharge into the sanitary sewer system. If your sump pump is connected to the sewer, disconnect and redirect it immediately to a location where the water cannot flow back into the sanitary sewer system.
**Free** sump-pump discharge hose is available at the Municipal Office. ***If you need hose, please ask. If you need assistance determining how to properly reroute your sump pump, please contact the Municipal Office***
