#PipesHateWipes. Expect to see that message throughout Charlotte in the coming weeks. A campaign designed to bring awareness to the growing problem of so-called “flushable” wipes harming the Charlotte pipe system, #PipesHateWipes features two hilarious characters.

As you can see from the above video, Pipe and Wipe have taken advantage of the coming election year to spread their competing messages across the radio waves. It’s a funny ad, but the damage done to Charlotte’s wastewater system by flushing away disposable wipes is no laughing matter.
