Flushable Wipes and Sewer Backups in New Hope
Flushable wipes have become a nuisance for most public works departments due to their failure to break apart and dissolve in water, despite being advertised as flushable. In the city of New Hope, costly equipment repairs and replacements have been required to deal with the effects of flushable wipes, and the city urges residents to dispose of flushable wipes in the garbage can.
