Upcoming Winter Weather Warning

The National Weather Service has issued the following winter weather warnings for our area.

#1 In Our Hearts

ATTENTION WILBER RESIDENTS…we know that Wilber is the best town around but we need your help in showing the BRAN riders the heart of our little community.

Wilber has been selected as a host town for BRAN 2023! Why is this exciting??? For being a HOST TOWN, we get a $1500 scholarship for one (or more) of our graduating seniors…BUT…if we are voted the BEST HOST TOWN, we receive a second $1500 scholarship that can be split up or given to one senior!!!!

That is up to $3000 for our local kiddos, but we need your help! We are looking for volunteers to open your homes to some of the riders and to help with the activities that we have planned while they are here on June 8th and June 9th.

Go to our BRAN page and scroll to the bottom of the page to the section titled Community Support and sign up to be a volunteer or to host a rider.

We will have some fun ways for everyone in town to contribute to Wilber being voted BEST TOWN so continue to follow our Facebook page and Website and share this post with all of your friends!!!!

Sewer Cleaning Announcement

Wilber Residents…PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST!

We were just notified that Johnson Services will be in town Wednesday through Friday doing sewer cleaning. They will start with the Northeast section of town (3rd & Main & 41), once they complete that, they will start on the Northwest section of town.

They are in town today (November 8th) putting up yellow notification slips on all homes in these areas that list precautionary measures that you will want to follow.

Sewer Cleaning Notification (from Johnson Services)

Sewer lines can develop air pressure or a partial vacuum from the cleaning process. Usually, any excess air pressure or vacuum will dissipate through you plumbing vents, but occasionally there are homes with inadequate plumbing vents (no vents, undersized vents or obstructed vents).

In the case of inadequate venting air pressure could escape through your toilet, floor, sink, tub or shower drains causing water to splash out or, a vacuum could draw the water out of your fixture traps causing an unpleasant odor. To guard against this possibility please:

? Cover all floor drains with plastic and place a weight on the plastic

? Cover all toilets with plastic and close the lid on the plastic

? If you should experience an unpleasant odor, run water into each drain to re-fill

the traps.

Water and drains may be used as normal. The cleaning of sanitary sewer is necessary to help prevent stoppages.
