We've said it before and we'll keep saying it: "flushable" wipes aren't safe to flush, no matter what the label says. 🚽💧
They don't break down like toilet paper and are still a top cause of clogs and backups.
Wipes go in the trash.
Safety isn't a one-time training. It's a long-term commitment.
For 20+ years, PeopleService and @myNiacc have built customized safety training for water and wastewater operators. Thanks to NIACC for sharing our story 💧
