It’s really sad that I have to report this, but at the April meeting of the Town Sewer District # 1 board it was reported that the waistband of a pair of men’s underwear was found clogging a sewer district # 1 pump. So a pair of underwear was flushed into the system.
This occurred in April. Also discovered in one of the pump stations – feminine hygiene products, “flushable” wipes, garbage disposal debris, cooking oil and grease. The reason why cooking oil and grease are so problematic is that it floats and covers the switch that turns on the pump when the waste water level rises. The oil prevents the switch from turning on.
This was in April!
