Drains, drains & more drains
The drainage system needs to be handled with care. Our drains cannot handle the disposal of garbage, diapers, toys,
tampons, sanitary napkins, baby wipes, or other such items in the toilets, sinks or bathtubs. These items must be placed in the garbage.
“Flushable or disposable” wipes are NOT flushable or drain friendly. These cause major clogging of the system.
PLEASE do not put garbage, diapers, toys, tampons, sanitary napkins, baby wipes down the drains.
Fall Pest Control Reminders
The house mouse is remarkably well-adapted for living year-round in homes, food establishments and other structures. Residents are especially likely to notice mice during winter, following their fall migration indoors in search of warmth, food and shelter. Once mice become established inside a home, they can be extremely difficult to control, especially when unreported.
*Preventive measures you can take
-Be sure to keep all doors closed
-Keep all grain foods (i.e. rice, cereal, bread) contained in plastic containers
-Be sure NOT to leave food out
-Maintain a clean household (i.e. sweep and mop floors regularly)
-Report sightings and traces of rodents to CTC Office for Pest Control treatment
Seasonal Window Policy Reminder
