Sewage Backflow Prevention
In order to minimize damage caused by blocked sewer lines, the Town of Pilot Butte Public Works staff regularly inspects, cleans and repairs lines and lift stations. Other backup preventative measures include tree root control and public education.
In the past year, the Town sewer system has experienced an above normal amount of blockages caused by grease and foreign materials. Clogged sewer lines can lead to considerable expense to clean and repair. Preventing sewage blockage is in everyone’s best interest, and preventative maintenance is the best insurance to steer clear of the cost and inconvenience to homes, businesses and the Town.
Drains are often used as trash cans and the sewer system cannot handle chemicals, trash, garbage or fats. Chemicals may harm the environment, and garbage, trash and fats can cause sewer back-ups that are unsanitary, smelly and expensive for the Town and often the homeowner to correct.
Here are some of the things that need to be kept out of the sewer and should be disposed of more responsibly:
- Chemicals – may be hazardous to the environment. These include motor oil and auto fluids, pesticides, fertilizer and lawn care products, bleach and disinfectants, beauty products, medicine, paint, varnish and paint remover, etc.
- Paper and Plastic – can block the pipes in your house or in the street.
- Fats, Oil and Grease – any of these that are poured down the drain can harden into a plug, and block an entire pipe, causing sewer backups for you or your neighbours. Included in this category are meat scraps and bones; vegetable and fruit scraps
- Garbage – just like trash and fats, clogs and blocks the pipes. Paper towels, dental floss, feminine hygiene products and applicators, cat litter, cigarettes, disposable diapers, rags, dish cloths, and hockey tape are just some of the items that have caused problems.
By following a few simple rules, you can help prevent costly sewer blockages in the future. Thank you for your co-operation and please remember that back flow preventers are available, free of charge, at the Town Office by calling 781-4547.

WINTER PARKING RESTRICTIONS
Winter parking restrictions are in place from November 1st to April 30th every year. There is a 72 hour restriction on parking on Town boulevards.
- The boulevard is the Town-owned land between the edge of the paved street and your property line.
- On streets with no curb, there is NO allowance for parking of the pavement at nay time.
- On streets with no curb, the boulevard may be used from parking of vehicles in daily use. The 72 hour restriction doesn’t mean that you drive your vehicle around the block and re-park it. It means that you cannot store vehicles on the boulevard during the winter months. The same thing applies to paved streets where there is a curb.
- On any street, where there is or is not a curb, the Town appreciates that vehicles will not be parked either on the boulevard or on the pavement when snowfall is imminent. When operators are cleaning the streets, particularly after heavy snowfall, that snow has to go somewhere, The boulevards serve that purpose.
The Town thanks all those residents who help us out by complying with the law. Please be assured that vehicles which are left on boulevards or on streets may be ticketed and /or towed.
