PUBLIC NOTICE




TO THE CITIZENS OF UNION BRIDGE:



INFLOW & INFILTRATION FIELD INVESTIGATIONS


Please be advised that the Town has employed a contractor to conducted CCTV field investigations on the sewer lines to check the structural integrity of our sewer system and ensure outside water is not infiltrating our systems. This project will take place beginning on Monday, March 20, 2023 and will last approximately four (4) weeks. During this time, we wanted to communicate some possible abnormalities or minor inconveniences:


Home Sewer Systems


You may hear some noise in your system while working on your street.


There is a potential for what is called “Blowback” while working on the sewer lines. To combat this, please perform the following measures during this time period: 


o Keep all toilet seat lids down.

o Cover floor drains.

o Cover sinks located in the basement.

Shepherds Mill Road

CLOSURE

As part of Carroll County’s ongoing effort to maintain our existing structures, on or


about October 3, 2022, the Department of Public Works will close Shepherds Mill Road

last for one year. Detour routes will be posted.


Carroll County appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation with any travel delays or difficulties that this roadway closure and construction project may cause.

Water and Sewer Bill - Online Payments!!!


We have started a new service for online bill payment of your water and sewer bills. The service allows anyone who has received a water and sewer bill in the mail to pay it online. There are 2 locations on the website where you can access the online bill payment website. The first location is in the right column of the "HOME" page and the second location in on the "Town Services" page.


By clicking on the "Water/Sewer Payment" button, users will be taken to a page where you can set-up a permanent account with the bill payment site or you can just pay by clicking on the "Guest Sign-in". Either way works to pay your bill. Follow the instructions provided on the website to pay your bill in a safe and secure way online. The service is provided by Diversified Technology Corporation.


If you don't want to pay online, you can still pay your bill by mailing or dropping off you payment to the Town Office as well.
