City of GP – Don’t Flush Wipes!!

Keep Wipes Out of City Wastewater System

Do you use wet wipes that claim they are flushable? These wipes are actually not flushable and can cause harm to plumbing and wastewater systems because they do not disintegrate after flushing. Instead, they wrap around other flushed wipes and debris, damage pumps at the wastewater plant, and have to be removed from wastewater screens and lift stations.

Wipes also create clogs in main wastewater lines and customer lines that have to be manually removed because fats, oil and grease deposit on them.

Toilet paper disintegrates almost immediately, but the strong-fiber wipes cause havoc in city wastewater lines and at wastewater plants.

When using flushable wipes, please throw them into the trash, and do not flush them down the toilet. This keeps the wastewater lines clear and helps avoid costly clog removal at your home and the wastewater plant.

More Damage to West Creek Fence

20161031_074644Once again, someone has caused significant damage to the fence on West Creek Lane. There is no possible way that whoever did this did not notice they hit the fence, or maybe they did know but did not care.

The HOA spent over $7000 putting a new fence along the entire length of West Creek Lane, and it seems some folks want it to look like the old fence that was literally falling down.

This damage happened over the weekend. If you know who did this, please call the Office. They need to pay to have it fixed!
