Think Before You Flush

Never flush:

• Wipes (even “flushable” ones)

• Diapers

• Feminine hygiene products

• Cat litter

• Cigarettes

• Coffee grounds

Avoid “System Killers”

Keep these out of drains:

• Paint

• Gasoline

• Oil

• Pesticides

• Antifreeze

• Excessive antibacterial cleaners

Protect Your Drainfield

• Do NOT drive vehicles over it

• Keep heavy equipment off

• Avoid excessive irrigation

• Plant trees away from system

• Divert gutters and runoff away

Reduce Water Usage

• Fix leaks quickly

• Use high-efficiency appliances

• Spread out laundry loads

The less strain on your system, the longer it lasts.
