Important reminder for all homeowners: sump pumps may not discharge into the sanitary sewer. It’s illegal and can cause sewage to back up into your home or your neighbor’s.
Sanitary sewers are built for sewage only, not groundwater or rainwater. Your sump pump should always discharge into your yard or a storm drain. Keeping things flowing the right way protects your home and your community.

Say hello to Joe Harrington III, our Diesel Mechanic of ten years and a steady hand behind the generators that keep our pump stations humming. Joe handles everything from routine maintenance to full engine overhauls, making sure our equipment is always ready to go.
And when he finally clocks out? He’s coaching little league baseball, boating on the river, waterfowl hunting, or spending time with his family. Joe brings the same dedication to life outside of work that he brings to the CCMUA every day. Thank you, Joe, for being such an important part of the team.

At the treatment plant, scum isn’t just an insult or a dramatic description. It’s the layer that floats to the top during certain steps of the process, which makes it easier for us to skim it off and remove it so everything keeps running smoothly. Basically: it’s the stuff that literally self-sorts for cleanup.
