For emergency situations after normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, call (972)462-5150.

Sewer overflows and backups can cause health hazards, damage to home interiors, and threats to the environment. One of the most common causes of sewer overflows is blockage by grease. Grease gets into the sewer system from household drains and poorly maintained grease traps in restaurants and other businesses. The easiest way to prevent the problem is to keep grease out of the sewer system by following these simple suggestions:
-
Never pour grease down sink drains or into toilets.
-
Scrape grease and food scraps from trays, dishes, pots, pans, utensils and cooking surfaces into a can or into the trash.
-
Don't rinse off oil and grease with hot water.
-
Do not put grease down garbage disposals. Put baskets or strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids, and empty the drain baskets/strainers into the trash.
-
Be cautious of chemicals and additives that claim to dissolve grease. Some of these additives simply pass grease down the pipes where it can clog the sewer line in another area.
-
Talk to your friends and neighbors about the grease problem in the sewer system and how to keep it out.
- Call the Utility Operations office at (972)462-5150 for more information.

QUESTIONS & ANsWERS
CAN THE COVID-19 VIRUS SPREAD THROUGH DRINKING WATER?
The virus that causes COVID-19 has not been detected in treated drinking water. Water treatment plants use filters and disinfectants to remove or kill germs, like the virus that causes COVID-19. The Environmental Protection Agency regulates water treatment plants to ensure that treated water is safe to drink.
Currently, there is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to people by drinking treated water. COVID-19 is spread mainly through close contact from person-to-person. You can continue to use and drink water from your tap as usual.
