An article to back up my previous post. If you are lucky these things will wash through to your sewer however, we don't want them "washing through" either. A quick read for some good information that could save everybody some money in the long run.

The modern garbage disposal provides a quick and sanitary way to dispose of food waste, keeping trash bags lighter and landfills from overflowing. But even this venerable appliance can choke on certain items.

I'm posting a list of things not to put down the drain.
Every now and then it helps to be reminded of these things so that our sewer system can continue to function properly and not have expensive breakdowns and repairs. We operate on a small budget and want to continue to offer you problem free service for a reasonable price. We are all aware in today's economy that even small repairs can be expensive.

Hygiene products (e.g. sanitary napkins/liners, tampons, condoms, wipes, cotton swabs, dental floss, diapers and rags)
Fats, oils and cooking grease
Medication (e.g. pills or liquid)
Household hazardous waste (e.g. paints, pesticides, cleaning products)
Car and garage products (e.g. motor oil, antifreeze)
Coffee grounds
Large food debris

This is just a short list of the most obvious items. Just keep in mind that if it won't break down it needs to go in the garbage can to make a trip to the landfill.

Just because it will go down the drain or flush doesn't mean it should.

We are already 19 days into 2025 and the WWCWD #2 has already embraced changes that affect all of us that are served by this system here in Touchet.
Our former secretary/bookkeeper Charlene Slater and our maintenance/supervisor Rush Slater have both retired from years of service. We are fast discovering just how much these two individuals have done to keep our Special District running smoothly. When people do their job so well, we don't realize how much those people were actually doing.
We have hired Kaitlyn Escareno to replace Charlene as secretary/bookkeeper. Kaitlyn has been working close with Charlene learning the intricate ins and outs of this job. Please be patient as Kaitlyn is still learning and working hard to familiarize herself with our accounts and needs.
We have also hired Tanner Gallaher as our Maintenance/Supervisor to replace Rush Slater. Tanner has a big job in front of him and is stepping up to the plate anxious to learn about our system.
We welcome our new employees, Kaitlyn and Tanner, and have enjoyed starting our new year learning along with them to make this transition as trouble-free as possible.
We thank the Slaters for the many long years and fantastic work they have done and wish them well during their well-deserved retirement.
