Jamestown (CSi)  The City of Jamestown Sewer Department would like to remind residents that the only thing to go down the toilet, besides human waste, is toilet paper. Items that say ‘disposable’, are not flushable. Some items may be labeled as flushable but can still cause problems to the sanitary sewer system. The strong fibers do not allow these items to biodegrade before the water returns to the river.

The following items should NOT be flushed:
• Cat litter
• Condoms
• Cotton swabs
• Dental floss
• Diapers
• Facial tissue, including anti-bacterial tissues
• Feminine hygiene products
• Gloves, masks and syringes
• Hair
• Paper towels
• Rags
• Wipes
The only item to be flushed is toilet paper. Proper flushing practice can prevent costly sewer backups and unnecessary sewer maintenance and repairs
