Untreated runoff is a threat to our local waterways. Taking the time to follow the proper procedures when discharging water from pools and hot tubs will help keep our waters healthy for fish and other aquatic life. Never dump pollutants, like chlorinated water, into a storm drain.

For residents of Kaukauna, Kimberly, Little Chute, Combined Locks and the Darboy Sanitary District that essential service is the responsibility of the Heart of the Valley Metropolitan Sewerage District.
Planning continues for a major interceptor rehabilitation project that will address corrosion of the interceptor system’s concrete pipe and manhole structures. More information on the project is available at https://hvmsd.org/category/projects/.

Project plan: HOV Sewer District
About a year from now work will be underway to install an acid-resistant liner in the Heart of the Valley Metropolitan Sewerage District’s interceptor.
The 5.5-mile pipe carries wastewater from residences and businesses between Kimberly and Kaukauna to the treatment plant next to the Ahlstrom-Munksjo-Thilmany Mill.
The project is needed to halt corrosion of the pipe that threatens the long-term viability of the interceptor. https://hvmsd.org/

Your beautiful outdoor space doesn’t have to come at the price of clean lakes and streams.
Minimizing runoff reduces damage to your property and lessens the amount of potentially harmful substances reaching our local waterways.
Opt for grassy areas and native plantings whenever possible. Where needed, install pavement like open bricks that allow water to sink into the ground.
