Clean Water Tip
WASTE WATER
Toilets are only meant for one activity, and you know what we’re talking about! When the wrong thing is flushed, results can include costly backups on your own property or problems at our wastewater treatment plant.
What you can do
Take Action
All of those bathroom wipes that are advertised as “flushable” aren’t so flushable after all! When these wipes are flushed, clogs and backups can occur in the sanitary sewer system. This leads to costly repairs! Remember — No Wipes in the Pipes!
Ponder This
Words of Wisdom
Keep close to Nature’s heart…and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
