NO TISSUES NO PAPER TOWELS NO NAPKINS OR NO WIPES IN THE PIPES

“Flushable” Wipes are NOT flushable Did you know? Flushable wipes can cause significant damage to plumbing systems, sewer infrastructure, and wastewater treatment facilities. Despite being marketed as “flushable,” these wipes do not disintegrate as easily as toilet paper. Instead, they can accumulate and create blockages in pipes, leading to clogs in our plumbing and sewer systems.
