Utility Department Reminders

The City of Marathon Utility Department would like to remind its residents that items that might say “flushable” most likely are not. Items such as cleaning wipes, disposable diapers, hair, grease, condoms, facial wipes, and feminine hygiene products such as tampons and pads, belong in the trash and not the toilet. These items can clog our sewer lines and damage pumps and other equipment. Not only are these problems expensive to fix, they can also cause raw sewage to overflow into homes, businesses, and the local waterways. So, think trash, not toilets!
Should you have any sewer emergencies please call 305-517-6764. Non Sewer Emergencies call 305-289-5005.
