**Town Sewer Customers are reminded to not dispose of fats, oils or grease down the drain. When cooking fats, oils and grease are poured down the drain, they tend to collect and stick to household plumbing and sewer lines. Over time blockages occur that lead to sewer backups, sometimes causing sewage to overflow from plumbing fixtures or sewer system manholes.
Help keep our sewer lines functioning properly. Click here for more information and how to properly dispose of your fats, oils and grease.
