 Drains that connect your home to the City sewer lines are only big enough to carry water, toilet paper and human waste. City sewers & pumps are sized and designed to dispose of very specific things. Using your toilet for disposal of many modern products will often result in blockages.
Homeowner Responsibility
Many items can cause clogs, sewer backups and overflows that may damage property & the environment. The City maintains & clears City lines up to the curb. Homeowners are responsible for blockages / clogs at their own residence to the curb.
What Should be Flushed
Flush Only Toilet Paper & Human Waste!
Be aware that just because is says “flushable”
doesn't’t mean it’s true. Please dispose of Items that should not
be flushed in trash and put out on the curb for City Pickup.
