We Need Your Help Keeping Wipes Out of the Pipes.
Sep 16, 2026
Water & Wastewater Facts
Conservation & Environment
DID YOU KNOW?
Many wipes labeled as "flushable" do not break down like toilet paper? When wipes enter the wastewater system, they can collect in sewer pipes, clog pumps, and increase maintenance costs needed to keep services running reliably.
These materials can also contribute to sewer backups and overflows in your own home or business, creating an expensive headache.
To help protect your plumbing and our community's infrastructure, please remember:
Only Flush the 3 P's:
✅ Pee
✅ Poo
✅ Toilet Paper
Place in the Trash:
❌ Baby wipes
❌ Cleaning wipes
❌ Disinfecting wipes
❌ Makeup remover wipes
❌ Paper towels
❌ Cotton swabs
Never flush any wipes down the toilet, even if the package says "flushable." A small change at home can make a big difference throughout the wastewater system.
Thank you for helping us keep our pipes flowing!
