City reminds residents to avoid flushing toilet paper alternatives
The city used its social media accounts to remind residents on Friday that only human waste and toilet paper should be flushed down the toilet.
The city said that given toilet paper shortages in stores, residents should remember that wipes, Kleenex and paper towel can clog pipes and toilets, ending in expensive repairs.
