Mount Pulaski Public Works Dept:  Please do not flush disinfecting wipes

[September 11, 2020]  The Mount Pulaski Public Works Department in an effort to maintain all sewer systems proper operation, we ask that the disposal of any of the many different types of disinfecting wipes that are in high demand, due to the Covid 19 virus, be disposed of via garbage and NOT FLUSHED DOWN YOUR TOILETS.

Although some packaging states they are sewer safe, these products do NOT BREAK DOWN the same as toilet paper. And more times than not, restrict residential sewer lines as well as City sewer lines and pump stations.

Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated!!

Director of Public Works
