TRAFFIC ALERT:

S 32nd Street & 12th Avenue - Beginning Monday, January 11, 2021
The intersection of South 32^nd Street & 12^th Avenue will be closed for approximately four to six weeks for sewer main repairs.

NO WIPES IN THE PIPES!   
REMINDER: Please only flush toilet paper! 

The trash racks at the sanitary pumping stations throughout the city pull out all of the trash before pushing liquid through to be treated. 

With an influx of people using disinfectant wipes for sanitizing people are flushing more non-flushable items than normal. Non-flushable items are clogging the sewer lines. Toilet paper breaks down in water, but other items, including flushable wipes and ramen noodle packaging, do not. Even if the package states “flushable,” the item can still clog the sewer line. Unclogging pipes is costly and time-consuming. If it is not toilet paper, put it in the garbage!
