To
All Homeowners Association:
Each
home has a sewer line clean out facility located generally near the front of the house. This clean out, if damaged,
broken, or missing will allow storm water to enter and overwhelm our sewer treatment plant and/or allow storm water to mix
with untreated sewage and back up into your home.
I strongly recommend that each homeowner or Homeowner Association check these facilities to insure their integrity
before the next storm. A large number of the plastic caps were found at our sewer treatment plant so I know they
are missing. To check integrity, I suggest wiggling the pipe to make sure it is firmly attached.
Depicted is a new version of the cleanout.
Older versions have a square ‘nut’ on the cover and can be removed or tightened carefully with a wrench.
