about 4 years in news

Supplied video obtained Monday, March 30, 2020, of Sarah Stuart-Black, Director of Civil Defence and Emergency Management at a media briefing in Wellington, NZ. The director says wet wipes are becoming a major problem for council wastewater plants and sewerage systems. "As people rightly become more vigilant about hygiene the use of wet wipes has increased markedly," she says. "Unfortunately disposing of wet wipes down the toilet leads to extra blockages in the sewer network and this includes flushable wet wipes. So the bottom line is, please always put wet wipes in the rubbish and not in the toilet." (AAP VIDEO/Supplied/Ministry of Health)
