Due to the significant rainfall, the City of Dauphin's wastewater system has reached capacity.
Although all lift stations and pumps are operating as designed, they cannot keep up with the volume of water entering the system.
Residents are being asked to reduce water use until further notice immediately. Your co-operation is critical to reducing strain on the wastewater system and minimizing the risk of sewer backups.
Please help by:
* Postponing laundry and other water-intensive activities
* Delaying the use of dishwashers
* Limiting unnecessary use of showers, sinks, and toilets
* Ensuring sump pumps discharge directly outdoors and are not connected to the sanitary sewer system
The situation is being closely monitored as this weather event continues.
