Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, a lot of you are now either working from home or staying at home with your children during the State’s stay-at-home advisory.
During this time period, a lot of us are finding it hard to find everyday essentials, one being toilet tissue. It is for this reason we are reaching out to you about “Don’t Rush to Flush”. It is important to realize that several paper products are non-flushable.
Please keep in mind Clorox wipes, paper towels and baby wipes to mention a few are non-flushable items. Many other paper towel type products are also non-flushable. Many of these items can be disposed of properly in your trash.
These non-flushable products will cause problems within our sewer system, your at-home grinder pump, as well as for those who are relying on your own septic systems. I would like to thank you all in advance for your understanding and may you all be safe and healthy during this crucial time.
Thank you,
Henri Renauld
Superintendent, Mattapoisett Water and Sewer Dept.
