Spring Into Smart Flushing Habits!

🚨 Important Notice for Residents: Protect Your Plumbing! 🚨

Dear Residents,

We need your help in keeping our community’s plumbing system running smoothly! Flushing items like wipes (even "flushable" ones), feminine products, paper towels, cotton swabs, and other non-toilet paper materials can cause serious plumbing issues, leading to costly and inconvenient problems for everyone.

Why is this a problem?

🔹 Blockages & Clogs – Unlike toilet paper, these items don’t break down easily. They can build up in pipes, causing blockages that lead to overflows and backups.
🔹 Expensive Repairs – Clogged pipes can lead to major plumbing issues, requiring costly maintenance that could result in increased utility bills or fees.
🔹 Sewage Backups – A severe clog can cause wastewater to back up into apartments, leading to unpleasant odors, water damage, and unsanitary conditions.
🔹 Environmental Damage – Many of these materials do not dissolve and can contribute to pollution in our water systems.

What should you do?

ONLY flush toilet paper and human waste.
DO NOT flush:

  • Baby wipes, cleaning wipes, or "flushable" wipes

  • Feminine hygiene products (tampons, pads, liners)

  • Paper towels or tissues

  • Cotton swabs or dental floss

  • Grease, food, or any other household waste

Instead, please dispose of these items in the trash. A simple change in habit can prevent plumbing emergencies, protect your home, and save everyone time and money!

Thank you for your cooperation! 🚰💙
