This is the notice that RedZone Robotics will be providing to residentsMemo from Jefferson Hills Municipal Authority
The township has contracted with a company named RedZone
to perform preventative maintenance by cleaning the sanitary sewer. We will be performing sewer cleaning and
inspection over the next two (2) working days.
The
cleaning process causes a vacuum in the sewer.
This will not affect most homes, but some homes may be affected that
have inadequate or partially blocked drain vents. The vacuum may cause “P-traps” (the little S
shaped bend in the pipe under sinks and drains) to be sucked dry. Should you notice a sewer smell resulting
from this, run a little water in your drains to refill the P-traps. It is recommended that you shut the water
valve off to your toilet(s), put the toilet seat(s) down and cover floor drains
with car mats on the days that the sewer cleaning is scheduled. This will minimize any possible splashing of
the P-trap water in homes that are poorly vented.
Thank
you for your help and cooperation.
