WTMA
Locating your Water and Sewer Service to Your Home |
Each homeowner should know the location of the sanitary sewer vent trap and cleanout and the water curb stop/shut off valve. Vent traps and cleanouts should extend between 6"-12" above ground and should always be properly capped to insure that debris or small animals cannot enter your sanitary system. If you cannot locate either of these appurtenances, please contact the Authority office.*NOTE* A minimum charge of $150.00 will be billed to customers when an Authority employee is called out after normal hours Monday-Friday, 7am-3pm. WTMA Employees are not licensed plumbers and are not authorized to perform plumbing work in your home. |
Access and Inspections At times, it may be necessary for a properly identified Authority employee or authorized representative to gain access to your property for the observation or sampling and testing of the water and/or sewer system on your property.You are required to provide access at reasonable times for these purposes. Otherwise, it will be presumed a violation exists and WTMA has the right to terminate service or take any other actions permitted by law. |
Grinder Pumps Several of WTMA's customers own grinder pumps in order to be connected to the municipal sewer system. Although WTMA does not own these grinder pumps, we provide free packets of information about them in our office. WTMA also keeps loaner pumps at our shop, in case of emergency. If you would like to receive a copy of this information, please stop by or call the WTMA office. |

Sewers are designed to take away used dirty water from sinks, baths, showers, laundries, and toilets. Flushing away unflushables adds to the cost of operating and maintaining your sewers. Putting trash down the toilet causes blockages in sewers and possible damage to the environment. "Disposable"doesn't mean flushable. Disposable means you should bag it and trash it... don't flush it! For example,"flushable"wipes are, in fact, not flushable. These wipes do not fall apart in water like toilet paper and should be disposed of in your trash.
