Maple Grove Reminds Residents To Flush Wisely To Prevent Sewer Backups

Press release from the City of Maple Grove:

April 21, 2020

Wipes used for baby care, personal hygiene, housecleaning and more cause major problems to the sanitary sewer system when flushed and could cause back-ups into your home as well as damage to the system overall. While these products are labeled "flushable" or "septic safe" they do not break down enough to flow through the sanitary system. Please throw such items into the trash; do not flush.
