Sewer Department

Everything that goes down a drain in Tyrone has to be collected and cleaned before it reaches the river. That’s the Sewer Department — essential public-health infrastructure most residents never have to think about.

Grease, wipes (even “flushable” ones), and paper products are the leading cause of backups. Keep them out of the drain and the system stays healthy.
