05/11/22: Public Service Announcement: Due to the amount of rain in the forecast and the already saturated ground, it is VERY IMPORTANT that ALL Breckenridge residents have their sump pumps running outside and being directed to the curb. By doing this the water will go into the storm sewer. Sump pumps can NOT be going into the sanitary sewer system. This will insure that the sanitary sewer system works correctly for everyone and no one experiences any sewer backup. Breckenridge Public Utilities is encouraging everyone to check and continue to monitor their basements. Also, as a precautionary measure you may want to plug basement drains.
Call Breckenridge Public Utilities at 218-643-4681 for any questions or concerns.
Used power poles for sale. $5.00 each Assorted sizes and lengths. Contact Neil at (218)643-4681 for more information.
