Sanitary District Public Notice: FISH CREEK SANITARY DISTRICT #1 P.O. BOX 55, 3815 COUNTY ROAD F FISH CREEK, WISCONSIN  54212-0055 (920) 868-3372 [email protected] **PUBLIC NOTICE** **Please Reduce Water Use During Wastewater Treatment Plant Repairs** The Fish Creek Sanitary District asks all residents and businesses connected to the sanitary sewer system to reduce unnecessary water use from November 1 through November 18 while repairs are completed at the wastewater treatment plant. During this work, the plant’s treatment capacity will be temporarily reduced. Reducing wastewater entering the sewer system will help prevent a bypass of untreated or partially treated wastewater and protect our local waterways.   You can help by:   * Taking shorter showers and avoiding baths. * Running washing machines and dishwashers only with full loads and postponing unnecessary loads. * Turning off faucets when water is not needed. * Fixing leaking toilets and dripping faucets. * Limiting other nonessential activities that send water into the sanitary sewer.   Businesses are also asked to reduce or reschedule water-intensive activities where practical, while maintaining required sanitation.   Please continue essential hygiene and sanitation practices.   Your cooperation will help us complete these improvements while maintaining wastewater treatment service and protecting the environment.   For questions or updates, contact our office.   Thank you for doing your part!
