The media has had reports of municipal sewer systems being inundated with items ‘other’ than toilet paper. This comes on the heels of the run on toilet paper nationwide.
The problems caused by flushing anything but toilet paper are clogs in plumbing on premises, backups in the municipal sewer infrastructure and overburdened capture systems as raw sewage enters wastewater facilities.
If you own a home with a septic system, you have your own mini wastewater system that you are tasked with maintaining.
Even though a septic system is ‘out of site and out of mind’, damage to a septic system can be easily avoided.
Never flush other items used. Only flush toilet paper. If you must use something else, place it in the trash can.
Your septic system will thank you by giving you years of trouble-free service.
