Help Prevent Sewer Clogs

Although some products are labeled and marketed as disposable, such as baby wipes, this does NOT mean they can be flushed in the toilet. These products and others have the ability to clog and stop up sewer lines on homeowner properties as well as blockage and service problems in the public sewer system and pump stations.

Save yourself and your sewer utility from costly repairs
