Flushable wipes have grown in popularity, but there are widespread myths about their safety and environmental impact. Contrary to common belief, these wipes can clog pipes, disrupt septic systems, and pose challenges for treatment plants. Even wipes labeled as “septic-safe” may not be entirely benign.
To prevent costly plumbing issues and environmental concerns, it’s advisable to limit the use of flushable wipes and dispose of them in the trash.
Chateau Woods MUD have had to repair/replace costly equipment because of wipes and grease at the treatment plant. Please dispose these items in the trash. Thank you for your cooperation.
