June 13, 2023 Sewer Odor Update

The remediation of the sewer line odor will begin on Thursday June 15, 2023 and will take place until approximately Friday June 23, 2023. The process will begin with a contractor high pressure jetting the sewer line to remove the buildup of sediment/residue that is causing the smell. It will begin on Arbor Dr off of Hopkins Hill Ave and proceed to Monroe Drive, through Ramblewood Estates, to Tiogue Ave, and then east on Tiogue Ave to Sandy Bottom Rd and the pump station. During this cleaning process there is a minor potential for sanitary sewer line lateral surcharge. The surcharge may cause, in some instances, water to exit sink drains and toilet bowls so as a precaution we are asking residents and business owners to keep their sink drains and toilet covers closed while not in use. We apologize for any disruption this may cause but it is necessary to address the problem. We continue to investigate the cause of the odor and will be implementing a testing and maintenance schedule going forward to avoid further issues. Thank you for your patience.
