including: water/sewer billing, leisure services registrations, planning/ backups and the need to clean out the main drain. When this happens, a plumber is needed to clear
zoning/building permits and bonds. the blockage. To help avoid these problems and expenses, only flush human waste and toilet paper.
Here is a list of other items that should never be flushed:
• Personal and baby wipes • Dental floss
• Tampons • Cotton balls and swabs
• Sanitary products • Cat litter
• Condoms • Prescription drugs
• Facial tissues • Over-the-counter medicines
• Paper towels • Cigarette butts
• Cleaning wipes and rags • Cooking fats, oils, or grease
Helpful Tips for Winterizing Your Home
• Turn off your water at the meter: Close the valve after the water meter. By doing this, water
will not continuously run if a pipe bursts.
• Winterize your pipes: Focus on your outside hose bibs, sprinkler system, and pipes on the
outside walls of your home. Drain the water from pipes and add insulation or heat tape.
• Crawl Spaces: Insulate your crawl space and add insulation or heat tape to water pipes.
• Set Thermostats: Set your thermostat to 55o F. This, in addition to keeping cabinet doors
open, will keep pipes warm enough.
• Have someone check on your home: Ask a trusted person to keep watch on your home to
check for potential problems. Should a problem arise, contact the Water
