Do not flush any wipes or towelettes, even those labeled ‘flushable’

Cobb County Water System staff reminds you to never flush any type of wipe, cloth, towelette or pad.

Wipes and paper towels should not be flushed. While the packaging may say “flushable,” the material does not break down like toilet paper. These products cause blockages in sewer pipes and can result in a sewage backup into your home. Always throw used wipes and paper towels into the garbage.
