Precautions suggested to residents during sewer relining project

WAITSBURG-The City of Waitsburg has been working with Michel's Trenchless, Inc to do mainline sewer inspections, relining, and maintenance cover installation. The contractor will begin relining portions of the mainline over approximately two weeks starting November 7.

The City sent letters to residents whose properties are serviced by the lines to be relined. In the letter, residents are recommended to tape down toilet lids, tub or shower drains and cover toilets with large garbage bags to avoid any issues caused by pressure buildup in the line.

The contractor and city staff will do their best to inform residents of any slowdowns in service.

The letter and the accompanying map of the affected properties are available online at Waitsburgtimes.com.
