The City of Groton will be conducting adult mosquito control on Wednesday, July 22, starting at 8:30 pm.
With the recent rainfall, the Groton Sanitary Sewer system is running at maximum capacity. If your sump pump is running, please make sure it is running outside instead of in the sanitary sewer. We are experiencing sewer backups and our public works dept has been working continually! To avoid further sewer backups, it is crucial that all sump pumps be discharged outside and not in the sanitary sewer. If we continue to have issues, we will start doing inspections and issuing fines for noncompliance.
Please double check to ensure your sump pumps are pumping outside and not in the sanitary sewer.
Thank you for your cooperation.
