Only Flush the 4P's

Only the "4P's" should be flushed down the toilet. These are Poop, Pee, Puke and toilet Paper. Other materials, including wet wipes marketed as flushable, do not break down and can get caught in your lateral and the pumps and pipes serving your area. Wipes, paper towels, tissues, and hygiene products should be placed in the trash for disposal. Many homeowners have experienced plumbing problems because of wipes, resulting in expensive maintenance and repairs.
