Help us Keep the Sewer System Clear

We need your help keeping our sewer system clear. Please refrain from flushing disposable wipes, baby wipes, and similarly named products down the toilet. In addition to getting caught in your own household sewer or the sewer main, these wipes can damage grinder pumps in the sewer system. The place to dispose of these items is the trash can, not the toilet! We appreciate your cooperation in helping the sewer system function as intended: out of sight and out of mind.
