Proper wastewater management is essential for maintaining public health and environmental safety in any community. As part of municipal services, wastewater systems are designed to collect and treat water from homes and businesses efficiently. The role of residents in maintaining their private plumbing systems is just as critical as the Town’s efforts to manage the broader infrastructure.
Routine maintenance should occur, and if neglected, can lead to issues like sewer gas entering your home, posing potential health risks and environmental concerns. By understanding the causes, risks, and preventive measures associated with wastewater and sewer gas, residents can help ensure a safe and functional system for everyone.
