Septic and Sewer Concerns
Posted by Upper Milford Jessi in Updates on March 13, 2020

Please keep in mind during this time, to take care of your septic systems and Sewer connections.  The wipes that are advertised as “Flush able”  do not break down as stated.  Please do not let these items into your septic system or sewer connection.  These create costly repairs for home owners with septic systems and line/grinder pump repairs for those with Public Sewer connections.  Below are some examples of media reports.
