Alternative Toilet Paper Products May Harm your Sewer or Septic system!
Anything used as a toilet paper alternative (including "flushable wipes") should be placed in a waste container, never flushed.
Anything that isn’t human waste or toilet paper will not readily breakdown after flushing and causes blockages in sewer pipes and pumps.
Blocked pipes and malfunctioning pumps may cause sewer back-ups into private residences and overflows into the street.
