Your Efforts Are Working- Limit Your Wastewater
To ALL City of Bunnell Water Customers
Posted on: October 2, 2022 - 1:28pm
October 2, 2022 @ 1:30 PM- When you flush, shower, run the sink, do laundry or use the dishwasher, you make wastewater. If it goes down a drain, it is wastewater.
If the plant can’t treat and process what buildings and weather are sending to it, it could lead to a sewer back-up on the streets and/or in your home/business. For this reason, the City has asked customers to limit HOW much they send through their pipes to the City wastewater lines until the plant can catch up on what has already been sent to it for processing.
The good news is: we are making progress.
If customers keep limiting what they are sending to the plant by not engaging in the activities that create large amounts of wastewater like laundry, baths and long showers, the City can most likely release the advisory tomorrow for both residents and businesses. This includes Bunnell Elementary School and the private school located in the City limits being able to resume normal operations without needing to plan for alternative bathroom measures.
Your conservation efforts are working and are appreciated. Thank you for your help and understanding during this event!
