What Residents Should Know
Sewer service is expected to remain available during the work. However, the cleaning process can temporarily move air through the sewer system and may cause gurgling noises, movement of water in toilets or drains, or temporary sewer odors.
Residents in the work area are encouraged to:
Keep toilet lids closed when not in use during the cleaning work.
For added precaution, leave a heavy object like a book on top.
Consider placing a towel between the toilet bowl and closed lid as an added precaution.
Consider placing a towel or bucket over shower drains as an added precaution.
Monitor your lowest fixtures. Make sure basement floor drains and other infrequently used drains contain water.
If you notice a sewer odor after the work, run water in sinks, showers and floor drains and flush toilets to refill the plumbing traps.
Residents and motorists in the area should use caution around contractor vehicles, hoses and equipment in the roadway. Minor traffic delays may occur.
The Village appreciates residents’ patience and cooperation while this important sewer maintenance work is completed.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact:
