Public Utility Service Issues Reminder to Avoid Flushing Disposable Wipes

In recent weeks, Lawrenceburg Utility Systems’ crews have been facing challenges at their sewer pump station on West Main Street in Ethridge. The issue stems from customers flushing disposable wipes, which has led to operational disruptions. It is crucial for the health of the sewer and wastewater system that customers refrain from flushing any type of flushable or disposable products down their toilets, despite what the packaging may claim. These products do not break down adequately and frequently result in equipment malfunctions. Lawrenceburg Utility Systems emphasizes the importance of proper disposal practices to maintain the efficiency of the sewer system.
