Gimli Septic Service Ltd. will be cleaning ALL sewer lines on Main Street and EAST of Main Street and SOUTH-EAST of the Icelandic River
starting on: Monday, August 24th
IT IS IMPERATIVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS BE TAKEN:
In some cases, where your vent might be plugged or the main lines are extremely dirty, water may blow up through toilets during cleaning operations. Please use plastic to cover your toilet bowl (under the lid) to prevent this.
Put the plugs in all sinks and bathtubs, including the basement.
If you have a floor trap, it is recommended you put a piece of plastic under the cover and place something heavy on it.
Once flushing is complete, if you experience an odor in the house, please do the following: run a bit of water in every sink that has a trap in it; flush the toilet; put some water into the floor trap and open the windows for a short period. The odor should disappear.
We encourage you to follow the above precautions in order to eliminate unnecessary cleanup which could occur. If these precautions are not taken, the Town may not accept responsibility for cleanup.
The contractor will start on Main Street, in the backlane between 2nd Avenue and River Road, moving South-East of the Icelandic River and then move East towards PR326. It may take up to five (5) days to complete the work. We are unable to predict how long this maintenance will take, nor when they will be on your street.
We apologize for the inconvenience, however to continue operating properly, the sewer system must be periodically maintained. If you need any further information, please contact the Town Office at 204-376-2647.
