“Don't Flush Baby Wipes” Public Education Campaign

The Maine WasteWater Control Association, in collaboration with other partners, has initiated a campaign designed to deal with the issue of non-dispersibles – products (including baby wipes) marketed or advertised as “flushable” that don’t break down like toilet paper or products that are not flushable but are flushed by confused consumers. These products can cause damage to a home’s plumbing, septic systems, and public sewer systems.
