No Wipes in the pipes
The No Wipes in the Pipes campaign was launched to educate Warren County residents on a problem that is resulting in increased expenses for the community. Disposable wipes continue to cause problems within Warren County Water District’s wastewater pumping stations. Flushing wipes can cause toilet overflows, expensive plumbing repairs and damage to septic systems, as well as clogged pumps and sewer systems. Warren Water encourages everyone to be part of the solution and pledge to only toss toilet paper down the toilet.
