Show City Dads Ask Citizens' Aid On Using Sewer The Delta City Council wishes to say a few words to citizens, home-owners and taxpayers about the sewer system. They wish to remind them that it 'is costly to maintain and keep the lines open. And that the cost is eventually out of the taxpayers' own pockets. They will pay dear unless certain practices and abuses, such as the flushing of odd items and articles into the system are discontinued. They ask the cooperation of the public by listing a few DO NOT's that will be of great help in keeping keep-ing the maintenance of the sewer lines, a constant headache and expense, ex-pense, from being less so. Please DO NOT flush into the system such things as potato peelings, peel-ings, orange peels, banana skins, coffee grounds, hand towels, diapers, dia-pers, and countless other items. They do not dissolve or flush away but collect and plug the tile lines and make a staggering mess. Peelings and pits by the bushel! basketfuls have been retrieved from the lines from time to time. An all time high was the day a double-tree was recovered after toil and trouble. Mystery still surrounds sur-rounds that deal, as to how a double-tree got in the system. Coal frequently appears, probably swept down floor drains. If the public will please ovserve these Do Not rules great savings and satisfaction Will be derived. |
