Important Sewer Notice
Sewer backup problems are very costly. Each individual citizen is responsible for the prevention of sewer backup problems. Human waste and toilet tissue only should be flushed down the commode. Bath water only should be drained from the bathtub and dirty water only should be drained from all sinks. Anything other than toilet tissue and water should be put in the garbage. This would be very helpful in preventing sewer backup problems in a residential community. Just remember, sewer backup problems are very costly and this cost is passed on to the consumer.
