Think Before you Flush

Small Habit. Big Difference.

Every flush has an impact on the wastewater system. Choosing to place wipes, hygiene products, paper towels, cotton swabs, dental floss, and other household waste in the garbage instead of the toilet is a simple habit that can make a big difference.

Items that don't belong in the sewer system can clog pipes, damage pumps, and create costly blockages. These problems require additional maintenance, increase repair costs, and can even lead to sewer backups and service disruptions.

By disposing of these items properly, residents help protect Saddle Hills County's wastewater infrastructure, reduce unnecessary maintenance, and keep the system operating safely and efficiently for everyone.

The safest rule is simple: Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Everything else belongs in the garbage.

Small actions at home help prevent big problems for the entire community.

Think Before You Flush. Small habits today help protect essential services for tomorrow.
