How You Can Help
Save the Pipes, Don’t Flush Wipes
While we are all busy disinfecting, communities around the globe have seen a drastic increase in backed-up sewer lines and overflowing toilets. Please DO NOT toss anything but toilet paper into toilets. This includes all wipes (disinfectant, baby, and even those labeled ’flushable’), paper towels, and other paper products.
