  • WARNING! Do Not Flush Disposable Wipes

    This can cause sewer overflows in your home or neighborhood!

    • ONLY toilet paper should be flushed. Disposable baby wipes, disinfectant wipes, or any other paper product besides toilet paper SHOULD NOT BE FLUSHED.
    • Even if labeled “flushable” – they are NOT. They will likely result in a blockage of your sewer lateral and/or the public sewer main serving your neighborhood, and can disrupt wastewater treatment plant processes.
    • YOU can help protect public health and the environment – do not flush disposable wipes.
