Protect Our Sewer System: Don’t Flush “Flushable” Wipes!

Even products labeled flushable can cause serious plumbing and sewer problems:

  • Clog household plumbing and sewer lines.
  • Cause costly backups into homes and streets.
  • Damage pumps at wastewater facilities.
  • Increase utility maintenance costs for everyone.

Keep Water/Sewer/Tax Rates Low & Protect the Community:

DO NOT FLUSH:

  • Flushable wipes
  • Baby wipes
  • Cleaning wipes
  • Paper towels
  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Cotton swabs & personal care products

Before 2020, MCMUD 139 (Fosters Ridge) averaged less than $8,000 per year combating “flushable” wipes.  By 2025 that number exploded to almost $200,000 and appears to be rising in 2026.  We need your help to keep these costs down and keep your system safe.
