We see a lot of nope ropes in Florida 🤣
I've been trying to convince my boss to be more proactive with lift station maintenance. 2 weeks ago I had a crew vac out this high flow station. I get a scada call for a pump tripping. In less than 2 weeks the motor cable have 80 lbs of rags wrapped around them. I understand this is job security, but the amount of trash that the public flushes is ridiculous. We have a small WWTP, just over 10k connections and maybe hitting a million gallons on a decent day. I spend more time cleaning trash out of these stations than anything else...... End rant....
