Don’t flush disposable wipes—they clog sewers
The North Attleborough Department of Public Works Wastewater Division is asking residents to refrain from flushing disinfectant wipes – including those labeled “flushable” – and instead, to dispose of them in the trash. Department staff are often called out after-hours to clear clogged pipes at pump stations to avert sewage overflows.
Whether a home or business is connected to the public sewer system or has an onsite wastewater treatment system, don’t flush any type of wipes, including baby wipes and those labeled flushable, down the toilet. Instead, place these products in the trash for proper disposal.
In addition to causing clogs and wastewater collection system overflows, flushing wipes can also lead to sewer back-ups in basements and damage properties. Although some of these products may be labeled as flushable, most wipes do not break down in sewer lines and pumping stations as toilet paper does. They can clog sewer systems and cause pump station failures.
2021-2022 Parking Ban Notice
Effective Dec. 1 through April 1, 2022, no parking on public ways or sidewalks in the Town of North Attleborough from 1-6 a.m.
