Sewer Cleaning

The City of Windsor Heights has contracted Visu-Sewer to perform the sanitary sewer routine cleaning starting in mid-February through mid March. Visu-Sewer uses a high pressure jet machine to clean the main sewer lines. The cleaning process can cause pressure changes in the sewer attached to your home. This should not affect most homes but in some homes that have inadequate or partially blocked drain vents, water in the traps and drains may be sucked out leaving a dry trap. It could also force the water out of the drains splashing the area around the drain. To avoid excessive splatter, close toilet lids and cover drains with a bucket or mat. After the crew has left your neighborhood, run a gallon or so of water into each drain to fill your traps (including floor drains) with water to keep any sewer odor out of your home.  If you have any questions, please email Jason VanAusdall at jvan@windsorheights.org



Budget Information Meeting
March is almost here again, which means the City of Windsor Heights will soon review and approve a city budget for the next fiscal year. The city budget gets approved every year in March and is effective the following July 1. The budget process also includes approving the city's capital improvement plan, which dictates what major projects, like water line replacement, road resurfacing, etc, that the city will complete the next several fiscal years.
