Did you know....the pipe that runs under your home to the property line is the homeowner’s responsibility.
If that section of pipe gets clogged with large objects being flushed down a toilet, a large amount of grease from the kitchen sink, or by the roots of the trees on your lawn, it is the homeowner’s responsibility.
Finding garbage in the wastewater has been a long-time battle.
Please ONLY flush the 3 P's:
pee
poop
