BMU: Route your sump pumps outside

Posted

BROOKINGS – Brookings Municipal Utilities is asking for residents’ continued cooperation and patience as they deal with the impact of this week’s rain events. 

“This year has brought about many weather challenges. We want to stress the importance of routing all sump pumps outside and not directly into the sanitary sewer,” says a BMU press release.

“The wastewater treatment plant and collection systems are operating at or near their design capacity. Thank you for your support while our staff continues to make this a high priority.”
