To Wipe or Not to Wipe - That Is the Question
I posted in the past about the damage and trouble that "wipes" have wrought on cities around the globe. The largest "ball" of damage was found in London sewers a few years ago. Other cities are fairing no better. The latest is New York City. They are having major issues with wipes labeled as "flushable" which are such, but do not break down like toilet paper and thus wreak havoc on sewer systems and in the end cost the consumers more. This article goes into more detail and includes pictures of this problem. In the meantime, let's all do our part and avoid flushing wipes, whether labeled "flushable" or not and avoid creating more work and trouble for others and increasing our cost of sewer bills and consumer products in the long run. Let's "wipe out" this problem once and for all!
