Why Sewer Service Is
Important? There is always a
person which is on duty 24/7 for emergency problems and address the needs of
the customers. What we do?
In some areas new line
and new manholes are placed to deal with aging infrastructure as funding is
available. Public works personnel place the new lines in trenches dug to
allow for proper vertical and horizontal alignment. Prefabricated manholes
are used in some cases, and in others, the crews construct the manholes with
brick and mortar. Dyes and smoke testing
are used to locate leaks or breaks in the system. The City just purchased a
new high pressure water machine to remove stoppages. Several areas that were
annexed are served by pressure lines where all the flow is moved by pumps. Gravity
lines throughout the system are used where terrain permits and are a cost
saving method of conveying the seweage. What You Get For The Fee
You Pay?
The sewer division of the
public works department is responsible for the conveyance of domestic and
industrial wastewater and the collection. Personnel
or responsible for maintaining 9 lift pumping station where gravity flow is
not available. These services and the treatment and disposal
of wastewater as well as the recycling of biosolids on local agricultural
land are paid for by the user fees collected each month from our customers. So you see that actually multiple departments and their
associated duties are funded by the small fees that the customers pay each
month. The sewer fees customers pay are based on their water
consumption. New
