NO WIPES DOWN THE PIPES!

Wipes, cloths and rags are being found in sanitary sewers at ever increasing rates. Many of these products are labeled as flushable, but while they clear the toilet, they will most likely cause problems downstream.

These products are becoming notorious for blocking private sewers, public sewer mains and binding up municipal pumps. PLEASE do not flush diapers, and diaper liners, baby wipes, pre-moistened wipes, a wide variety of bathroom cleaning wipes and brushes, feminine hygiene products, toilet seat covers, doggy doo-doo bags, and cat litter.

UNLESS IT IS TOILET PAPER, IT SHOULD NOT BE FLUSHED!
