  3. Illegal dumping and Illicit Discharges
  4. Construction Site inspections
  5. Watering Restrictions

Think Before You Flush

Did you know that “flushable wipes” and other trash flushed down the toilet are the leading cause of sewer backups in our community? Even if the wipes package says “flushable” they should never be flushed!
Your actions make a difference! You can help prevent costly plumbing repairs and higher utility rates. 
Think Before You Flush!
