REMINDER FROM PUBLIC WORKS:  Don't Flush Anything Other Than Toilet Paper!

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS

Flushing Notice

We remind you not to flush anything other than toilet paper.  As a result of the toilet paper shortage, people could be resorting to using other products.  We are concerned about the increased flushing of non-flushable items such as paper towels, napkins, and baby wipes (even those labeled “Flushable” should not be flushed).

This is not a new problem for wastewater facilities and we ask that our community be mindful of what they are using and flushing at all times, not just during this situation; to aid in the operation of your plumbing, septic system, as well as the municipal sewer system.

PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH:

Paper Towels
Baby Wipes – even those labeled as “Flushable” wipes
Wet Wipes/Cleaning Wipes
Napkins
Tissues
Feminine Hygiene Products

Obstructed Influent Pump
