- All types of wipes (even wipes labeled as flushable)
- Paper towels, napkins, facial tissue, and all other paper products

"FLUSHABLE" WIPES
Sanitary sewer systems around the world have a new enemy, FLUSHABLE WIPES. Flushable wipes are personal wet wipes, moistened towelettes, baby wipes and disinfecting wipes. The "flushable" or wet wipes can be easily flushed down the toilet, but they won't dissolve. Some manufacturers insist that wet wipes can be flushed away by your toilet but that doesn't mean they won't cause a problem underground. The wipes can float along in the sanitary sewer main coming in contact with grease and fats from cooking, ultimately creating a mass of grease and wipes that can build up to a point that they could potentially clog the sanitary sewer main. Once the sanitary sewer main becomes clogged, the sanitary sewer will back up causing the sewage to enter into homes and businesses. Please don't flush wipes down the toilet and as always, please don't pour cooking grease or oil into the drain. Go with the flow!
Rate Analysis
The District Engineer conducted a rate analysis in 2017 to help the Board identify a sustainable strategy for balancing income and expenses, including reserve fund needs. One goal of the analysis is to develop a transparent plan for rate increases, so the community can better understand the process and plan accordingly in the future.
Clear Creek Crossing
