As winter approaches and temperatures start to drop, it's important to make sure your sump pump is working properly to help prevent any potential hazards and maintain the integrity of the utility system.
If you utilize a sump pump in your home, be sure to discharge it into a floor drain or bathtub during the cold winter months. This simple step helps prevent discharge lines from freezing, which can cause blockages, backups, and costly damage to your property and the City’s utility system.
We encourage everyone to follow these guidelines during the coldest parts of the year. If you have any questions or need more help, contact the City of Bismarck Utility Operations at 701-355-1700, option 4, or visit the Stormwater page for more information.
Thank you for helping keep our community safe and our utility systems running smoothly.
