Mapping of this system is in GIS format. In addition to an overall sewer map, the system is broken down into detailed sections. Ms. Lowery keeps records well organized at the town hall and Robert takes good care of the pump stations, inspecting them daily. A grease control ordinance was available, and education is distributed with water bills several times a year. There are no HPLs in this system. Three of the five pump stations were inspected (#1, #2, #5) and all had proper signage, secure with restricted access, and functioning audio and visual alarms. A spill response plan was not available at the time of inspection but has since been developed.
