Important message from the Wastewater Treatment Facility:
With reports of toilet paper shortages due to Coronavirus (COVID-19), people may be tempted to use paper towels, facial tissue, or wipes.  Please continue to ONLY FLUSH THE 3-Ps (pee, poo, & toilet paper) at this time and always.  Anything but the 3-Ps can clog pipes, cause a backup in your home, and inhibit the sanitary sewer system in our community from working.  Please do your part to protect public health!
