Sewer Main Cleaning- July 26-29, 2019

Please be advised that Municipal Sewer Maintenance Ltd. will be conducting sewer cleaning on predetermined segments of the Municipal Sewer Mains. Read below for steps and precautions for the sewer cleaning process. CLICK HERE for this years streets that are to be cleaned. 

Steps you must take before sewer cleaning and inspection

Occasionally during cleaning and inspection, air pressure in the sewer can cause water to splash out of your 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 base of toilets
• Cover all basement floor drains

You may put things back as they were when the equipment has moved off of your block.

During and after sewer cleaning 

Sometimes the sewer cleaning and inspection leaves an odor in the home. If so, run some water down all sinks 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 disappear. For any questions or concerns please call the Municipal Office at 204-483-5200.

Thank you for your cooperation during this process.
