April 25 is National Drug Take Back Day!

Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands or into local waterways.

That’s why the DEA sponsors twice-annual drug take back days across the U.S. where citizens can clean out their medicine cabinets and turn in prescription drugs both safely and anonymously.

The drugs are collected in a special lockbox and then destroyed by local police departments.

Note: Many police departments and Walgreens across Hamilton County are participating.

You are invited!

Did you know? If you own a building, you own a building sewer.

🏠 A private building sewer (also known as a lateral) is the underground sewer pipe that connects your home or business to the MSD public sewer.

Property owners own the entire pipe, even the parts that lie under sidewalks and publicly owned streets.

🔧Property owners are responsible for:
• Keeping the entire length of the private building sewer clear of clogs.
• Repairing broken or collapsed portions that are located on their private property.
