Do not flush wipes and paper towels – throw away instead!

An increase in non-flushable items in the public sewer system is occurring.

The only things that should be flushed down the toilet is what comes from your body and toilet paper. Anything else can cause blockage or severe damage to the sewer system, which is costly.

Homeowners are responsible for the part of the sewer line that runs from their home to the public lines. Those who are on a septic tank have full responsibility for maintenance and repair. Flushing other items down the toilet can be costly.

Please place a garbage can in the bathroom to dispose of anything other than toilet paper.  Learn more
