To flush, or not to flush: Massey Drive asking residents to consider what they're flushing

    If it isn't toilet paper... don't flush it!

    Massey Drive residents are asked to keep garbage out of the sewer system. Once again, two of the town’s sewer pumps have crashed after items are being flushed. Things like wet wipes and swiffer heads cause problems when flushed and can lead to sewer backup into homes. Clearing a clog can cost several hundreds of dollars, even as much as 50-60 thousand dollars. Insurance premiums can also go up.
