Potholing

Sewer Collection System Improvement Project

Portions of our sewer systems have been identified as high priority projects based on age, condition and size. Crews will replace or rehabilitate aging wastewater collection infrastructure with new infrastructure that meets current standards. The program will focus on sewer lines in the Downtown area where Utilities records indicate the wastewater system was installed in the early 1900s.

The first step in this project is to confirm locations of existing underground utilities (known as 'potholing').

Wearing an extra layer of clothing during the winter and lowering the thermostat a few degrees can help save money and energy.

In warm seasons at night (when temperatures are cooler), open windows when you feel comfortable doing so (i.e. in calm weather condition, with a window stopper in place, during clean air days, etc).
