COMMUNITY news

The City of Colton Sewer Department is requesting that sump pumps no longer be discharged into the Sanitary Sewer System (through the floor, laundry or toilet drains) to prevent overtaxing the system and incurring additional costs.  Please pump all discharge out of the house to the yard or curb.  Continuing to discharge into the sanitary sewer system could lead to city inspections and subsequent fines.  Please call Colton City Hall at (605) 446-3811 if you have any questions.  We thank you for your cooperation on this important matter.

Last year, the City of Colton monitored your drinking water for possible contaminants.  The following attachement is a snapshot of the quality of the water we provided last year.  Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to EPA and State standards.  We are committed to providing you with information bacause informed customers are our best allies.
