| Hello, My name is Matt Jordan I am in charge of the wastewater system around Witmer , Westler , and the south west section Dallas lakes and also the Town of Wolcottville. I am gettig ready to start a INSPECTION AND SMOKE TESTING testing of the in Town wastewater system . What I am asking of you is to see if you could put something on your website and or your newsletters . And maybe bring it up at your next lake meeting to let the people around the lake know that they should not have sump pumps hooked into there sanitary sewer system. I know that there are some sump pumps that are hooked into the system because of the large influx of water that we get when we have a small rain event . I believe that a lot of people just dont know that they are not suppose to have there sump pumps and in some cases there down spouts hooked into the sanitary sewer. This is a problem that seems to get worse each year . If we get an inch of rain our flows into the wastewater system at each station around the lakes will double for a few days. We are always trying to keep our cost to a minimum . The cost is the same to treat a gallon of rain water as it is to treat a gallon of sewer water. And it is a lot of extra wear an tare on the whole wastewater system. If any one has any questions or concerns please call me at Cell # 260-499-1125. or at the treatment plant # 260-854-3316 Thank you very much |
