Q:  I have a box on the side of my house with a red light on top of it, what does this control? This controls a  2 HP centrifugal pump that sits down in a basin. When the water level in the basin reaches the desired level a float switch turns the pump on. All of the water and solids are sucked through the bottom of the pump and chewed up by a cutting wheel assembly. After that it is pumped through a small diameter pipe to the main sewer line. Once the water goes down to the desired level another float switch turns the pump off.

Q:  If the red light on my box starts flashing, what do I do?  If this happens between the hours of 7:00am to 5:00pm, contact 773-7957.  If this happens after business hours or on the weekend call the police department at 754-2550 and speak with a dispatcher.  If it is during normal business hours or after hours we will have someone come out to your home and see what the problem is.  We have someone on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week for emergencies. 

Q:  What do I need to do if sewage begins to back up into my home?
