BLAKESLEE SEWER NEWS
Aqua Pennsylvania, Inc. (Aqua PA) has been hired as our new billing collection Agency. If you have any questions concerning your bill, please call (570) 443-7099, for assistance.
The Township has been televising the collection system looking for broken pipes and/or damaged laterals. If you notice that your lateral clean out vent has been damaged, please contact a licensed contractor to repair it. Township ordinances prohibit the following from being connected to your lateral: storm water, roof runoff, air conditioner drains, sump pumps, area drainage or any sub-surface drainage.
Groundwater infiltration/inflow causes hydraulic overloading at the Treatment Facility and upsets the treatment process.
DO NOT introduce the following items into the collection system:
Sanitary Napkins
Tampons
Diapers
Paper towels
Cooking Grease
Petroleum products
Paint
Coffee grounds
Bones
Seafood shells
Eggshells
Plastic items

Homes with Grinder Pumps:
The three-year warranty for E-One grinder pumps has expired. If your house is connected to the collection system utilizing a grinder pump, some actions which you can perform as a homeowner to ensure the proper functioning of your pump are:
1.) In case of a power outage, check to insure your grinder pump is reset prior to using water.
2.) Run the water long enough to cause the grinder pump to turn on. This will purge the system and fill it with a sufficient amount of clean water.
3.) Leave the electrical power to the pump on. The pump contains a heating element in the control compartment to eliminate condensation problems.
4.)
If a problem occurs and the alarm light turns on and service is required, as a homeowner you are free to call anyone you would like to service your pump
