Flushing our troubles away

Flushing our troubles away

Xylem is calling on plumbers to help educate consumers about what not to flush down the toilet amidst growing concern around the effects on our sewerage networks.  David Spragg at Xylem explains.

 

For one reason or another, we have become a disposable society and unfortunately that means that many people throw items, usually destined for the dustbin, down the toilet or waste pipes. The ensuing mess is costing industry thousands of pounds every year and presenting a real risk of sewage entering people’s homes.
