Those wipes play hell here in Taxes with the State’s mandated aeration septic systems. They constantly run fans and pumps to work and have to be maintained twice a year by a state licensed worker. If it fails you’ve got to call the worker out to fix. This same system is illegal in Arkansas where the traditional none mechanized systems are approved.
“Raw sewage” in their “water system?” That’s not good.
Whoa! As of right now I live in an apartment & just like a month I’m having issues with my toilet. I never had problems with after moving in back in 2000. Now I do, I couldn’t flush and the water level rose to the top thinking it would over flow. I later learned that other tenants were flushing sanitary pads down the drain. Again, it happened & the manager told me to no longer flush used bath tissue. I’m not happy because I find that unsanitary. Especially dealing with smell. I know my aunt in Mexico we would toss it in a waste basket next to the toilet. She would later take the basket later to burn the tissue in a heater to warm the water for shower. So that is what I’m doing, except for the burning, I think that is illegal.
What wasn’t clear when I saw this story earlier was whether the wipes were considered “flushable” or if these are wipes that are not the flushable type. My understanding was that flushable wipes disintegrate when flushed, just like toilet paper.
I work at a hospital.they have banned these wipes after a three million dollar sewer clog.
Blame it on the wipes - as if they haven’t been dealing with pads and tampons for decades....
