Please be aware that Town Sewer cleaning will begin today, Sept. 16th, 2024, and will last roughly 1-2 weeks. All streets east of the CPR tracks may be affected, with no specific timeline for the affected streets.
Here is some important information and tips for property owners in preparation for sewer cleaning.
Occasionally during sewer cleaning, air pressure builds in the sewer line causing water to splash out of toilets, sinks, and drains. Please take the following precautions to prevent water damage in your home:
- Close lids and cover toilet bowls when not in use.
- Insert drain plugs in all sinks and bathtubs when not in use.
- Remove all floor mats in bathrooms.
- Place an old towel around the base of toilets.
- Cover all basement floor drains.
Sewer cleaning on rare occasions may leave an odor in the home. If this is the case, run some water down all the sink and bathtub drains, flush toilets, pour a pail of water into each basement floor drain, and open your windows. After a short time, the odor should go away.
