PUBLIC NOTICE: SUMP PUMP DISCHARGE REQUIREMENT

To All Residents and Business owners,

To help protect our sanitary sewer system and prevent unnecessary overflows or treatment issues, all sump pumps must be discharged outside of the home or business and must NOT be connected to the sanitary sewer system.

Effective immediately:

• Sump pump discharge lines must be redirected outdoors (such as onto your lawn or a designated drainage area).
• Discharging into floor drains, sinks, or directly into the sewer system is prohibited.

 

Why this is important:

Excess water from sump pumps can overload the wastewater system, leading to backups, increased treatment cost, and potential environment concerns.

What you need to do:

• Inspect your sump pump. Note: The Fish Creek Sanitary District staff can assist!!

 

• If it is connected to the sanitary sewer, have it redirected to an appropriate outdoor location as soon as possible.

 

Failure to comply may result in further action as required by local ordinances.

If you have questions or need guidance, please contact the Fish Creek Sanitary District / Operations Manager at (920) 421-5550 cell or (920) 868-3372 office

Thank you for your cooperation in protecting our community’s infrastructure.

Sincerely,

David L Alberts / Operations Manager
