PUBLIC UTILITIES CLEANUPS AND “THINK BLUE”

Most people think of disaster cleanup as limited to private property such as businesses and homes, but what happens when a flood or other natural disaster affects public utilities? In some cases, public works departments cannot handle all the cleanup required to ensure that homes and businesses are safe. In other cases, private property owners are impacted by overflows from private sewer pipes not owned by the city or county.

In any case in which sewer runoff becomes a problem, J&M Keystone can help. We understand the issues facing those who are struggling to clean up after runoff from a flood, a burst pipe or other disasters and we can provide fast, professional cleanup service that meets all state and local regulations and standards.

SEWAGE OVERFLOWS: AN UNPLEASANT FACT OF LIFE

We do not think much about sewage systems when they are working properly. However, when we experience problems with our sewage pipes, it is all too apparent! Besides the immediate problem of smelly waste, a leaking or overflowing sewage pipe can also lead to bacterial infestation of water sources, making people very sick. It is critical that sewage overflow be handled properly in order to protect those who may be affected by runoff.

J&M Keystone supports the “Think Blue” program. This program educates industries, businesses and homeowners about the possibility of water pollution and outlines easy-to-follow measures that will prevent water contamination. The Think Blue program allows commercial and residential property owners to take realistic steps to ensure that their actions do not impact the water of others as well as protect their own water supplies from accidental pollution.
