The City is initiating a new program utilizing its Reverse 911 system which will notify property owners with sewer back flow prevention valves when it becomes necessary to regulate the inflow gates at the waste water treatment plant.  The Reverse 911 system will provide notification by telephone, email, and/or text message.  The gates are typically regulated during periods of heavy or prolonged rain which causes the sanitary sewer collection system to become inundated, and it is necessary to regulate flow at the plant. The notification is intended to alert you to these conditions and prompt you to engage your back-flow prevention valve.

The City anticipates that the completion of its new waste water treatment facility will likely eliminate the need to regulate the gates at the plant; however, the City will maintain the program of notification in the event that it would be necessary to regulate flow.

A registration form is available for download from the link at the bottom of this page. Please complete the form and return it to the address listed below.  Please note that it is very important that you notify the City, if any of your information submitted on the form ever changes.  Changes should be reported by submitting a revised form.  It is the desire of the City to assist citizens in protecting their property from damages caused by sewerage back-up.  This program is one step in achieving that goal.
