Brush can be placed on the terrace. Brush (sticks and branches) which is large enough to chip (generally at least ½” in diameter, yet no more than 4” in diameter and at least three feet long) may be piled loose on the terrace and should be placed with cut ends all pointing in the same direction as the traffic travels in the lane closest to your property. Branches should not be more than 10’ long. All yokes and wyes more than 1 ½” in size must be cut through. Small brush of ½” diameter or less should be put in a solid container. Brush placed in bags or cardboard boxes will not be picked up. If a tree trimming service is hired for maintenance at your residence, that business is required to dispose of the tree brush. Public Works will limit brush chipping to one hour per residence per week so as to better serve the community.
Please do not place brush on the curb more than 24 hours prior to collection. Collection will be on Mondays as weather permits. Help keep the Village of Lomira attractive!

SEWER SERVICE
Where does "waste" go?
A simplified explanation of the wastewater treatment process...
Bathroom wastewater: toilet, sink, shower/bathtub other household wastewater: kitchen sink, garage sink, etc.
Wastewater flows to a pipe below your home
and flows to a larger pipe that then carries the waste to the wastewater treatment plant
At the wastewater treatment plant, the waste is processed/filtered through the following steps:
STEP 1
SCREEN
First, waste arrives at the treatment plant to filter through a screen. The screen traps large, non-organic debris that cannot be processed. Examples include baby wipes, "flushable" wipes (that should NOT be flushed), toys, pencils, anything that shouldn't go down the drain/toilet.
STEP 2
SCREEN WASTE
Next, any non-organic materials that the screen traps is then removed and dropped in a dumpster for the landfill.
This is an image of part of a screen that broke due to non-organic material.
STEP 3
GRIT CLASSIFIER
Next, the waste travels through the grit classifier, which is a smaller screen that traps any sand-like material from flowing further through the treatment plant. Material trapped by this screen is also dropped into a dumpster for the landfill.
STEP 4
AERATION BASIN
Next, the waste collects in these basins for further treatment. Micro-organisms "eat" the undesired bacteria. Chemicals (such as chlorine) are also used to treat phosphorus.
STEP 5
CLARIFIER
Lastly, the waste enters the clarifier, which separates particles for cleaner water. Particles will either sink to the bottom or float to the top, which is then sifted out. The clean water discharges into the Rock River Basin just south of the treatment plant.
