St. Peters residents who are storing abandoned vehicles or illegally parking cars such as recreational vehicles or business vehicles may be getting a notification in the mail from the police so that they don’t get a ticket down the road. Beginning May 16, 2016, the St. Peters Police Department will mail notices to homes where police have found violations of City vehicle codes. The notice will ask for voluntary compliance to avoid consequences. St. Peters police periodically check St. Peters subdivisions for vehicle code violations such as illegally parked RVs, boats and trailers, business vehicles parked on the street instead of driveways, or the storage of inoperable vehicles at homes.

FLUSHING WIPES CLOGS PIPES
Here’s a public service announcement that could save you from a bathroom disaster: Never flush any product besides toilet paper down your toilet, including any type of wipe, even if it’s labeled “flushable.” Baby wipes and household cleaning wipes should always go into the trash, never the toilet. Even if your pipes don’t get clogged with these wipes, flushing them will cause problems down the line.
