Sanitary Sewer Reminders

A friendly reminder if people are using alternatives to toilet paper in response to shortages due to current events. Wipes that are advertised as flushable ARE NOT and should be disposed of in a garbage bin. Please help prevent sewer backups as flushing these items could cause a sewer backup for you and your neighbors. Thank you very much for your cooperation!  The only items that should be flushed into the sanitary sewer system are human waste and toilet paper.  If you are using alternative products, please dispose of them in your garbage can!  Items that cannot be flushed include:  “flushable” wipes or any other wipes, diapers, rags, feminine products, hair, cotton balls, dental floss, noodles, grease/oil/fat, medications, paper towel, facial tissues, cat litter, cigarette butts, coffee grinds, and goldfish.
