PROPER DISPOSAL OF
FATS, OIL & GREASE
Will Help Keep Our Utility Costs Down!
It's a fact...the more foods, fat, oils, and grease we put down the drain or through the garbage disposal, the more impact they will have on our sewer lines and wastewater treatment system.
So remember, if you can scrape it from your plate, don't grind it in your garbage disposal--and you will help keep the wastewater process running smoothly.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
--Scrape food residue from plates, pots & pans before washing.
--NEVER put eggshells, coffee grounds or kitty litter down the drain or toilet.
--Use your garbage disposal sparingly.
--Put vegetables & fruit peels in the gray trash can.
--Collect excess fats & oils in a sealed container & put them in the gray trash can.
--Use proper recycling centers to dispose of used motor oil. (O'Reilly Auto Parts @ Blackstone & Sierra will take your used motor oil)

HELP US CONSERVE
Water is one of the San Joaquin Valley's most precious resources and should not be taken for granted. In addition to following the watering schedule, here are a few simple ways to help conserve water:
--Install low-flow shower heads & toilets in your home when possible
--Repair leaks immediately. Faucets or toilets that drip or run constantly are a HUGE waste
of water.
--Adjust the float in your toilet so that the water level in the tank is a little lower.
--Turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth or doing dishes. Allowing the water to run
Constantly while performing these tasks can waste gallons of water each day.
Please contact our office if you observe a leak in the street or need to report excessive water use and our staff will be happy to assist you.
