What Not to Put Down Your Drain:
- Bathroom Wipes- which sometimes are advertised as flushable, are not, sewer officials insist. Neither are tissues, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, make-up pads, various medical materials, condoms, and dental floss. Paper towels, diapers, adult wipes, baby wipes and facial tissues are made of materials that don’t break down easily and can cause your pipes to clog. Even if large objects do make it to the City sewer main they can cause blockage in the sewer main and can cause plugged pumps. The trash is the place for these items.
- Never dump kitty litter down the drain- many of these products contain clay which will narrow the opening of your sewer pipe. Eventually it will plug your sewer
- Never plant trees over your sewer service line- roots are the leading cause of service line blockage. If you have any roots in your sewer service line, the grease, food waste, and large objects just mentioned are even more likely to cause blockage.
