Flushable is not a thing!

Please do not flush wipes down the toilet. In the last several years we have seen an alarming increase in the number of pump failures due to “flushable” wipes, diapers and towels entering our system. Wipes tend to wrap together and turn into long strings of fabric in the sewer pipes, attracting grease and other solids and eventually clogging the pipes. The wipes that do make it to a grinder pump or pumping station wrap around the impeller of the pump, slowing the rotation down and eventually causing the motor to burn up. Please do not put anything other than toilet paper in a toilet – your pipes will thank you!
