As toilet paper runs short, many citizens may turn to alternatives such as “flushable” wipes and sanitizing wipes. These substitutes can cause problems for the sewers that could result in blocked lines, backups into homes and malfunctioning treatment equipment.

Please do not flush baby wipes, 'flushable' wipes, or any other alternative to toilet paper. There is no wastewater recognized standard to ‘certify’ what is flushable other than toilet paper. If you do use alternatives to toilet paper please dispose of them in the garbage. When in doubt, don’t flush it. Use the trash can. Thank you! FCWSA
