We have posted this before but we still have people flushing these wipes (and other stuff that has no business being flushed) which results in the sewer line being blocked. We come out to unblock the line and pull up all kinds of products. Below is a post from the City of GP’s website. These wipes also cause a lot of problems at the waste treatment plant.
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.
If we find a sewer blockage at your property caused by flushing wet wipes, paper towels, diapers or other such items, we will bill you for our time and trouble.
We have a Large Item pickup for the WEST SIDE ONLY set for this Thursday, June 21st.
Notices will be put out on the West side today, and will indicate what we cannot pick up.
Novimium, an Oncor contractor, will be doing some work on a transformer on Monday, June 11th. This will effect parts of West Mountain Lane.
They will have the power back on as soon as they can. They are out here upgrading the transformers/underground cables.
And they will be changing iut this old style transformer sometime in the future.,

We have been getting reports of several young men wandering both sides of the property, and checking car doors and back gates. This usually indicates they are trying to steal something. I just heard we had a break-in on the East side yesterday and I would not be surprised if it was these guys.
The description I was given was these are 3 or 4 young Black men, sometimes together or individually , wearing some red
either on wrists or around the neck, and usually wearing a hoodie with the hood up. In this heat, that should cause someone seeing this to wonder what they are up to. That is not normal behavior.
Please let the GP Police know if you see these guys and their activities seem suspicious. Someone here certainly has seen them on property.

Here is a photo of the pool after dark with the new LED pool lights. We had a light go out and decided to replace them with wide angle LED lights.
They are much brighter and more energy efficient than the old pool lights.
