PHOTO: New Jersey American Water reminds customers that alternatives to toilet paper and “flushable” wipes should not be flushed. These paper products can clog your sewer pipes and leave you with a nasty repair bill. Instead of flushing these items, throw them in the trash.
Use of wipes impacts wastewater treatment facilities and could lead to sewer backups and unexpected repair bills
CAMDEN, N.J. – With hand hygiene at the top of everyone’s minds and toilet paper in high demand, many households are increasing their use of sanitizing wipes and “flushable” wipes. However, New Jersey American Water is telling customers not to flush these wipes down the toilet. Flushing wipes, paper towels, or other paper products not intended for use in wastewater systems, down the toilet can lead to sewer backups and in-home plumbing issues which may be expensive to repair. Even wipes labeled as “flushable” or “biodegradable” can cause backups for sewer utilities and headaches for homeowners.
