SEWER CLEANING

Mayer Specialty Services will be cleaning sanitary sewers North of Main Street and East of 5th Street from January 16, 2024, to January 31, 2024, starting at 7 am and lasting most of the day. Individual door knockers will be hung to notify you when your home will be affected. 

Sewer lines can develop air pressure or a partial vacuum from the cleaning process. Usually, any excess air pressure or vacuum will dissipate through your plumbing vents, but occasionally there are homes with inadequate plumbing vents (no vents, undersized vents, or obstructed vents. In the case of inadequate venting air pressure could escape through your toilet, floor, sink, tub, or shower drains causing water to splash out, or a vacuum could draw the water out of your fixture traps causing an unpleasant odor. 

To guard against this possibility please:

*Cover all floor drains with plastic and place a weight on the plastic.

*Cover all toilets with plastic and close the lid on the plastic.

*If you should experience an unpleasant odor, run water into each train to re-fill the traps.

Water and drains may be used as normal.

The cleaning of sanitary sewers is necessary to help prevent stoppages.

Thank you for your cooperation. Our apologies for any inconvenience. If you have any questions, please call (785) 258-2271.
