Only Flush Toilet Paper:
The Wastewater Department reminds the public...please, please, please DO NOT flush any product other than toilet paper down your toilet. Personal sanitary wipes, baby wipes, paper towels, and the like do not easily break down like toilet paper and they do not travel through our sewer system the same way as toilet paper. They can get snagged easily on imperfections in the lines (like a small tree root or slight turn in the line) and literally the STUFF we want to get rid of starts piling up and is trapped, causing backups. Those types of items belong in the trash can just like disposable diapers... and should be hauled away with your trash. Thanks for your help!

| General Information |
In our world of social distancing, we are relying on technology to keep us linked to our workplace, friends and family. But during this time there are those who want to continue to disrupt our lives through scams, cyber-attacks, fake websites, phishing emails, etc. These actors are trying to take advantage of the public's concern and fear of COVID-19 by getting folks to panic and react rashly. Remind your friends and loved ones of this to help prevent them from falling prey to these scammers.
NPPD's Corporate Securty team sent out these simple tips for us to share with you. Be diligent in protecting yourself... and in the words of a wise retired police officer..."if it sounds too good to be true, it's too good to be true".
