I plan to continue leading the Township in a positive direction, including following through on township projects currently underway. There are numerous issues I am passionate about. These being transparency, accountability, and commu-nication in government. I will work diligently with our leadership team and members of the staff to increase communication with both employees and residents of our community. We are working to distribute more information on our website (www.chesterfieldtwp.org), and on social media. A Township Facebook page has been created in an effort to communicate enhance, and inform residents daily on important news, information, and leisure activities.

“Flushable” wipes should never be flushed!

Aside from causing large problems with municipal sewer systems, wipes and other items also cause problems in the pipes inside your home. Clogged pipes can lead to overflowing toilets, basement sewer backups and the need to clean out the main drain. When this happens, a plumber is needed to clear the blockage. To help avoid these problems and expenses, only flush human waste and toilet paper.

Here is a list of other items that should never be flushed:

WA

TER DEPARTM

ENT TIPS

Did you know???

• Personal and baby wipes• Tampons• Sanitary products• Condoms• Facial tissues• Paper towels• Cleaning wipes and rags

• Dental floss• Cotton balls and swabs• Cat litter• Prescription drugs• Over-the-counter medicines• Cigarette butts• Cooking fats, oils, or grease

Helpful Tips for Winterizing Your Home• Turn off your water at the meter: Close the valve after the water meter. By doing this, water

will not continuously run if a pipe bursts.• Winterize your pipes: Focus on your outside hose bibs, sprinkler system, and pipes on the

outside walls of your home. Drain the water from pipes and add insulation or heat tape.• Crawl Spaces: Insulate your crawl space and add insulation or heat tape to water pipes.• Set Thermostats: Set your thermostat to 55o F. This, in addition to keeping cabinet doors

open, will keep pipes warm enough.• Have someone check on your home: Ask a trusted person to keep watch on your home to

check for potential problems. Should a problem arise, contact the Water Department immediately to assist in further preventing potential damage.

NATIONAL FIREPROTECTION ASSOCIATIONThe leading information and knowledge resourceon fire, electrical and related hazards

Smoke Alarmsat Homeat Home

Smoke Alarms

Smoke alarmS are a key partof a home fire escape plan. When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast. Working smoke alarms give you early warning so you can get outside quickly.

• A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire.

• Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level. Smoke alarms should be connected so when one sounds, they all sound. Most homes do not have this level of protection.

• Roughly 3 out of 5 fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

FACTS

!

!

!

SAFETY TIPS • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom. They should

also be outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. Install alarms in the basement.

• Large homes may need extra smoke alarms.

• It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm sounds, they all sound.

• Test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working.

• Current alarms on the market employ different types of technology including multi-sensing, which could include smoke and carbon monoxide combined.

• Today’s smoke alarms will be more technologically advanced to respond to a multitude of fire conditions, yet mitigate false alarms.

• A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms. They should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the stove.

• People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use special alarms. These alarms have strobe lights

and bed shakers.

• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
