Truman Public Utilities reminds you to put your sump pump to drain outside. Several towns are experiencing high flows of water due to snow melt and high water table. Truman is no different.

Pumps need to stay ahead of the flow and if this does not happen, you may experience backups in your basements. Please change your sump pump to drain outside instead of discharging in the sanitary sewer or floor drain.
