Do Not Flush Advisory - Sept 22

The city and ULM maintenance crews have been experiencing an alarming number of clogged drains and pipes recently because of foreign material being flushed down the toilets or poured down drains. The pipes in these systems are designed to handle water, human waste, and tissue paper only.

Examples of what should not be flushed down toilets or poured down drains include but not limited to:

• Cloth rags or towels
• Baby wipes, Toilet wipes, Towelettes, Disinfecting wipes, or cloth wipes of any kind (even if the container indicates that they are “flushable”)
• Paper/Paper Towels (other than toilet paper/tissue)
• Feminine hygiene products of any kind
• Beauty products, Q-Tips, dental floss
• Plastics of any kind
• Medications (Prescription, or over-the-counter)
• Grease of any kind – especially cooking grease
• Paint, varnish, paint remover
• Motor oil, gasoline, or any explosive material

Instead, all of the above items mentioned should be thrown out with the trash or disposed of properly. Remember... only water, human waste and tissue paper should be flushed down toilets. Clogged pipes lead to sewer backups which can back up into rooms and are expensive to clean and repair.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
