CCTV Inspections and Sewer Flushing
NOTICE
Over the next few weeks, St. Clair Township will be conducting sewer flushing and camera inspections in the village of Corunna. This is part of St. Clair Townships annual infrastructure maintenance and inspection program.
Please note the following details:
- The equipment used may block sections of the road and driveway entrances. This will be temporary and should only be for a few minutes at a time.
- The process uses high velocity jet flushing in the sewers, which can cause toilets and sinks to gurgle. This is a normal occurrence and will not negatively affect your plumbing.
The work is anticipated to be completed during the months of April and May.
We thank-you for your cooperation as we continue to improve our municipal infrastructure. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact:
Public Works at 519-867-2125 option 3.
