Remember, the Toilet is not a Trash Can!

Wet wipes, Clorox wipes, rags, and other non-dispersible items (those things that do not break down naturally) are troublemakers for plumbing and sewer lines. With the increased use of wipes during the pandemic, there is a rise in the chances for sewer spills and overflows attributed to these items being flushed and entering the MWA sewer system. Non-dispersible items not only clog sewer lines, but they can damage equipment and processes at the MWA Water Reclamation Facilities. Please do not flush these non-dispersible items down the toilet. Remember, the Toilet is not a Trashcan! For more information, including grease education about not pouring fats, oils, or grease down the sink, check out our "Learn More" link below.
