'Many wipes on the market today that are labeled as 'flushable' are prone to getting stuck in plumbing, forming clogs in sewer lines and causing mechanical failures for utilities,' writes Jill S. Jones of the Wasatch Front Water Quality Council.
This photo provided by Charleston Water System on Saturday, Oct. 20, 2018, shows huge balls of oily, black used wet wipes and baby wipes that had clogged intake pumps in Charleston, S.C. The Charleston Water System had to send in the divers nearly 100 feet into a sewer well after the wipes, congealed by grease and other items sent into the pipes, clogged the suction intake pumps to the Plum Island Wastewater Treatment Center on James Island.
Typically, we don’t ask for the public’s help. Until now. It’s time to have a conversation about wet wipes.
