These Items Should Never Be Flushed!

Non-Flushable items relate to hundreds of thousands of dollars in future costs to Twin Rocks Sanitary District when they are flushed down the toilet, as they shorten the lifespan of essential equipment at the wastewater treatment plant such as membrane filters, air diffusers, and pumps.  The cost of these preventable problems are ultimately absorbed by rate payers, in the form of higher sewer bills.
