Vandalism of Water and Wastewater Infrastructure is very serious and costly to the Town. Please help discourage this behavior if you know who is involved. Nothing good can come from this type of behavior including the possiblily of felony convicitions for the perpatrators and more money from the budget needing to be used just to repair what has been vandalized.

Just a friendly reminder to all to do the right thing at home and in commercial spaces when it comes to grease. It should never go down the drains into the Sewer Collections System.

Grease can create a coating on the inside of pipes that will inhibit flow, creating excess hydrogen sulfide gas which will corrode sewer lines. The coating and/or blocking of sewer lines also increases the likelyhood of Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO's as they are commonly referred to).

To put it simply, Grease causes many problems in the sewer collection system and costs the taxpayers money!

Thanks,

Excellent work from the team with the assist from Interstate Water & Wastewater getting those old 2000 lb channels off of the older of our two Fournier Press's and getting the shiny new ones on! It wasn't easy but great people just find a way to get things done.

This press will de-water in the ballpark of 6.5 Million gallons of wet sludge in the course of a year. The end product is a dry sludge cake that is currently processed in a New England composting facility. Without a machine such as this the town would have no economically feasible way to dispose of its municipal wastewater biosolids.
