HELP US KEEP OUR SEWER RATES DOWN!
PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH “FLUSHABLE WIPES”, BABY WIPES, FEMININE PRODUCTS, TAMPONS, ETC. DOWN YOUR TOILETS. “FLUSHABLE WIPES” ARE NOT DEGRADABLE AND CREATE SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN OUR SEWER SYSTEM. WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER $100,000.00 FOR SPECIAL EQUIPMENT CALLED FINE SCREEN TO REMOVE “FLUSHABLE” WIPES FROM THE SYSTEM WHICH CAUSED SEWER RATE INCREASES TO YOU THE CUSTOMERS. BUT THE “FLUSHABLES” AND OTHER PRODUCTS YOU FLUSH ARE PLUGGING THE SYSTEM BEFORE THEY EVEN GET TO THE FINE SCREEN. THIS CREATES A LARGE EXPENSE AS OUR CREW SPENDS MUCH TIME REMOVING THESE PRODUCTS CAUSING SEWER RATES TO GO HIGHER. ALSO IT IS UNLAWFUL TO PUT THESE PRODUCTS INTO THE SEWER SYSTEM. IF THE “FLUSHABLES” AND OTHER PRODUCTS YOU USE AND FLUSH, BLOCK YOUR SYSTEM, YOUR LATERAL OR THE MAIN SEWER LINE, YOU COULD BE HELD PERSONALY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES AND THAT COULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE FOR YOU AND/OR YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY. SO PLEASE HELP US, YOUR NEIGHBORS AND YOURSELVES TO KEEP SEWER RATES LOWER AND AVOID THE INCONVENIENCE OF A BLOCKED SEWER LINE. THANK YOU.
