Chelmsford Independent Letter to the Editor
     The task of the SFA is not over as the implementation of Article 25 needs to be monitored along with ongoing support to homeowners.  Homeowners with grinder pumps are ​not being treated fairly.  You can help by making a donation to assure that we have the money to cover any costs associated with defending and supporting homeowners. 
     Donations as of 12/11/2018 are $1997. Thank you for your generosity in support of homeowners charged with abuse without due process.

Grinder Pump System vs
​Gravity Feed System

     A grinder pump is an appliance that is installed on the homeowner's property. Effluent is stored in a tank until it reaches 30 gallons of effluent. When that level is reached, the content of the tank is pumped to the street and then pushed into the gravity system.
     Homeowners with gravity feed systems do not require pumps to feed into the sewer system.
     At the beginning of the sewer project every effort was made to ensure homeowners could tie in with a gravity system. At the end of the sewer project many homeowners were forced to have grinder pumps as the system is less costly to install.
