The Town of Paradise advises that work is continuing through the night to address the disruption at Lift Station 10. Pumper trucks will remain on-site.

---------------------------------------------------------

The Town of Paradise advises that Lift Station 10 on St. Thomas Line is currently operating with limited capacity. Our crews are working urgently to resolve the situation, we ask residents to minimize water use such as running larger water-based appliances for example dishwashers and washing machines. Reducing water use will help alleviate pressure on the sewer system as repairs continue.

Please avoid the area around Lift Station 10, as traffic delays and detours are expected on Topsail Road and St. Thomas Line. Alternate routes are recommended where possible, and traffic control measures are in place for everyone’s safety. Pumper trucks are on site at Lift Station 10, Woodstock Gardens, and Plateau Park to actively manage the situation.

A new lift station is set to begin operation in the new year, but in the meantime, the Town is working hard to keep the current system running. We greatly appreciate your cooperation and patience as our crews work to repair the lift station quickly as possible.
