Cleaning and inspecting the municipal sewer system in Ochten and the rural areas of Opheusden and Dodewaard
Tolhuis Rioolinspecties will, on behalf of the municipality of Neder-Betuwe, clean and inspect the municipal sewer system in the town centre of Ochten and in the rural areas of Opheusden and Dodewaard. The work will commence on Monday, March 30, 2026. The work is expected to take several weeks.
On the website www.tolhuisrioolinspecties.nl/werkzaamheden-neder-betuwe/ you can view the schedule and progress of the work. Residents will also receive a notice in their mailboxes.
Please take note of the following
- The work will be carried out on weekdays between 07:00 and 17:00.
- To prevent splashing water, close the toilet lid. You can weigh it down, for example, with a bucket of water.
- Seal other openings connected to the drainage system, for example, with towels or appropriate drain stoppers.
- Streets may be temporarily blocked by the vehicles of Tolhuis Rioolinspecties, although they will try to avoid this as much as possible.
- Do not park your car on a manhole cover. These need to be opened to carry out the work.
- To prevent odour nuisance: after the work has been completed, thoroughly flush the siphons. This will allow the odour trap to function properly again.
During the work, you can continue to use the toilet, shower, and other appliances as usual. However, after the work has been completed, do not forget to take the above measures again.
Tolhuis Rioolinspecties will work carefully and try to minimise any inconvenience. If you have any questions, you can contact them on tel. 0492-343106.
