Do Not Flush Wet Wipes Down the Toilet

With the current COVID-19 concerns and the increased need for disinfection, the Wastewater Treatment Plant has seen an increase in the number of wipes being put into the system. We must ask residents throw all wipes into trash bins, this includes the ones advertised as “flushable”. All wipes, including “flushable” ones increase the chances of clogging sewer lines that potentially lead to other health and safety issues. Wipes are also known to become attached to impellers and pumps connected to motors and as a result, put extra strain on equipment or even cause major equipment failures. Unlike toilet paper, wipes do not break down in water in a way that makes them safe to the wastewater system. Please, only human waste and toilet paper should be flushed.  https://www.today.com/series/one-small-thing/are-flushable-wipes-really-...
