THE SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE:

We hope that those who live in our District, by now, have noticed that construction has officially begun at our East Shore Road facility.  Although the crews are busy at work building our new facility, it is important to remember that we continue to operate our existing treatment plant to the same stringent guidelines as we always have.  With the construction of our new facility, comes new innovation and technology that will make the treatment of our areas wastewater both more efficient and establish even greater reliability. 

You may have also noticed that our sewer maintenance vehicles are appearing more often in your neighborhood.  The District has continued to fine-tune its sewer maintenance program, and has now instituted a fully integrated Closed Circuit Television Inspection schedule.  This schedule will enable the District to perform televised inspections of the entire sewer system every two (2) years.  These inspections will allow the District staff to identify potential problems in the sewer system and to plan necessary corrective actions in a efficient and cost effective manner.  A planned repair is much less expensive than an emergency repair.  This level of preventative maintenance is almost unheard of in the sewer industry, and it is just another example of the hard work and dedication that the District staff members’ give every day to the residents they serve.  I am proud to work with such fine individuals.

Please remember to check out all the sections on this website for the most up to date information. Please be sure to also check out the Maintenance Program area located at: www.gnwpcd.net/Maintenance.htm.  

In it you can view the last time a District crew was on your street, as well as all of the maintenance the District staff performs on its treatment plant and pump stations.
