Do not flush “flusable wipes”!

Believe it or not, “flushable” wipes really should not be flushed down your toilet. Flushable wipes are bad because they don’t break down as fast as toilet paper when they are flushed, meaning they back up your sewer. Even if they flush, they cause issues in your actual piping. It’s even worse if they make it through your private sewer lines.

Today’s low-flow, high-efficiency toilets have such good flushing power, you can get a ton of things down them and even if it doesn’t cause problems in the household system, it gets into the sewer system and the problems arise there.

Please DO NOT flush any type of wipe down your toilet. They clog the pumps in the lift station resulting in the pumps failing and costly repairs to the Village.  If there are any questions, please contact the DPW at 745-7839.  Thank you!
