The unclogging of blockages in the
city’s sewer system falls on the responsibility of a two-man crew. Responsible
and dependable best describes these men. These guys make all the right decisions when it comes time to cease an overflow.
The importance of the job this crew performs goes virtually unnoticed until you have experienced a sewer blockage yourself
and then you immediately become aware of how much of a necessity these two guys are to the city of Morristown taxpayers.
Five hundred fifty five call outs due to blockages or sewer related calls is the number of calls this crew
responded to in the fiscal year 2007. Some of the other task this crew performs when they are not on a call is as follows. Flushing sewer lines at locations that are marked for having a high rate of blockages,
acid and or salt treating the system for the prevention of grease build up and root growth, start up of idle equipment to
make sure of a reliable start during emergencies, and helping wash sewer lines and sewer structures for the cctv inspection
of our sewer system.
From unclogging sewer blockages that occur at high occupancy dwellings such as hospitals, schools, restaurants,
businesses etc. down to single dwelling homes. This crew is often told how much they are appreciated for the job they do.
The people that have experienced the inconvenience of not being able to use their restroom facilities, wash clothes, wash
dishes or take a shower know exactly how high these men rank on the scale of importance.
