The Town of Funkstown’s Sewage Treatment facility has been dealing with an increase in non-flushable materials clogging our equipment.
WE ASK RESIDENTS TO ONLY FLUSH TOILET PAPER AND HUMAN WASTE.
Flushable wipes, including cleansing and baby wipes, cannot be safely flushed, even if they are labeled as “flushable” or “biodegradable.”
Other non-flushable items include things like diapers, dental floss, hair, feminine hygiene products, cotton swabs, and kitty litter.
Flushing or dumping the wrong things down the drain can cause blockages in your own home.
