The Consequences:

Clogged Household Pipes: Wipes and other non biodegradable items can cause backups in your home’s plumbing, leading to slow drains, foul smells, and expensive plumbing bills.

Sewer System Damage: On a larger scale, wipes and other non biodegradable can block pumps and pipes in the district’s wastewater system, which may require costly emergency repairs—costs that can impact the whole community.

Dispose of Wipes Properly:

All other items—including wipes, paper towels, diapers, and even “flushable” wipes should go in the trash, not the toilet.

Protect Your Home and Our District

Taking a moment to throw wipes in the trash instead of the toilet helps:

• Avoid costly plumbing repairs

• Prevent backups and sewage spills

• Keep our wastewater systems running smoothly

Below is a list of things that should NOT be flushed

Let’s work together to keep our pipes clear and our system flowing!
