Sanitary sewer flushing is underway this month in Cumberland to clear out gravel, grease and debris that can block sewer lines.

Prior to crews starting work  in your area, you will receive a notice with tips to avoid water splashing from your toilets. Basically, keep them closed when not in use.

You may also smell a sewer odour if the force of the flushing clears standing water from drain traps in your home. This odour may be eliminated by flushing your toilets and running water in all your drains, including any floor drains.
