Wastewater Division Urges Residents to Disconnect Sump Pumps from Sanitary Sewers

The Wastewater Division of Narragansett has launched an initiative asking residents to ensure that their sump pumps and downspouts are not connected to the sanitary sewers. This measure aims to reduce the infiltration and inflow of rainwater and groundwater into the sewer system, which can cause environmental and infrastructural issues. This initiative is a critical step in maintaining the efficiency and sustainability of the town's wastewater management system.
