This crew is cutting rags, and other flushed items, from the aerators at the City sewer plant. Removing the fibrous materials that cannot break down after being flushed is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
On this day, more than 100 rags were removed from the lagoon. These items, such as feminine hygiene products, rags, towels, cleaning wipes, can damage sewer pumping equipment and impede pumping operations and create unnecessary maintenance expenses that can eventually impact customer rates and bills.
Your assistance is needed to stop the practice of flushing items that cannot break down to keep our system free of rags.
