The city of Hays Water Resources Department has contracted with Pipe Detectives to conduct sewer line cleaning and inspections at the locations shown on the above map.

Cleaning will begin Monday. Pipe Detectives should be completed with the entire project by Dec. 15.

Door hanger notices will be placed on homes and businesses affected prior to cleaning.

Work will begin at the north end of the project area and proceed south until completed.

During this process, residents may experience a rumbling sound, in addition to the possibility of water entering your sink, bathtub and/or toilet. Sewer lines can develop air pressure or a partial vacuum from the cleaning process. If you will not be home or on vacation during the time of sewer line cleaning, please protect your home by keeping your toilet lids down.

For questions or concerns, contact Pipe Detective's project manager at 1-218-770-8286 or the Water Resources Department at 1- 785-628-7380.
