Say NO to "Flushable" Wipes!
- Clogging Pipes: The wipes do not break down in water like toilet paper, leading to blockages in pipes and sewer lines.
- Sewer System Damage: Clogged pipes can overwhelm the local sewage system, causing costly repairs and potential environmental contamination
- Environmental Impact: Wipes can end up in our rivers and streams, polluting our waterways and harming wildlife.
So what should YOU do?
- If you use wipes, dispose of them in the trash, not the toilet.
- Educate your family, friends, and neighbors to help protect our community infrastructure and the environment.
Let's work together to keep Portland's plumbing and waterways clean and safe!
