    Public Works "Flushable" Information

    REMINDER: "Flushable" wipes should go in the garbage , not in toilets. "Unflushable" items, wipes as the main culprit, have been identified in your neighborhood's sanitary sewer system. 

    These wipes (even if labeled "flushable") can cause your sanitary sewer to backup, cost you for repairs to your home and sewer system, and endanger the safety and our staff and public health. 

    Please remember to ONLY flush the "3Ps" (Poop, Pee & Toilet Paper)! Thank you for your help. To learn more, click here
