Did you know that some paper products and wipes are advertised as “flushable” but are not!

Sure, they will flush down, but they do not flush out. Instead, they get caught in sewer lines, pumps, filters, and screens at the sewer plant. This results in costly repairs or cleanup!

You have control to prevent these repair expenses by simply not flushing wipes, paper towels, hygiene products, and other items into the sewer system.
