‼️Public Service Announcement ‼️

Don’t flush facial tissues, paper towels and ‘Flushable’ wipes down the toilet!

You will end up with a clog that is not easy to unclog. These items will make your sewer system back up into your homes where you are being isolated. Do not make your life worse by flushing anymore than TP in the toilet.

Flushable wipes are not flushable!
