Jetting is a process of cleaning the sanitary <br />sewer lines within the city using a high <br />pressure nozzle which is propelled from <br />one manhole to the next. The nozzle is <br />then pulled back slowly which scours the <br />inside of the sewer pipe, removing any <br />debris inside the pipe. All material is pulled back with the water and forced downstream. <br />This routine maintenance helps to prevent blockages and sewer backups. <br />Please note; during this process blowbacks could occur. A blowback is a pressure surge <br />that can cause the water in a toilet or floor drain to bubble or blow out. Obstructions, or <br />partial obstructions, in a home’s plumbing vent stack can increase the likelihood of an <br />occurrence. <br />During the jetting period please check your sewer vents to ensure thy are clear and keep <br />the lid of your toilet down to minimize the potential of any water splashing from your toilet. <br />Watering Restrictions <br />Reminder: City ordinance allows for outdoor watering <br />between the hours of 6PM and 5AM and follows an <br />odd/even schedule. Properties with even-numbered <br />postal addresses may water, sprinkle, or irrigate their <br />lawns only on even-numbered days. Properties with <br />odd-numbers postal addresses may water only on odd- <br />numbered days. <br />To help reduce water usage, and your water bill, the City of Lake Elmo is <br />contributing up to 90% of the cost of smart irrigation controller devices. These <br />smart controller devices can help save a household as much as 10,000 gallons <br />of water per year! <br />Find out more here
