TAXPAYER'S DOLLARS DOWN THE DRAIN
WE ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM
West Mayfield residents continue enduring the inconvenient cost of infrastructure repairs due to clogged and broken sewer pipes. Repairs to the pipes must be made as quickly as possible to protect the health and safety of the community and to keep the waste water infrastructure in working order.
NO FLUSHABLE WIPES
Residents are reminded to help keep our sewer system in top working condition and to protect the quality of our waste water, which eventually ends up in our rivers and drinking water supply.
