DIXON, CA (MPG) - City officials ask residents to stop flushing non-flushable materials.

Public information officer Madeline Graf said the Dixon Wastewater Treatment Facility fills up gallons of daily non-flushable debris that threatens pipes.

"Our engineering team reached out to me and let me know we need to start an education campaign regarding the use of flushable wipes as it is an issue getting out of hand at the Wastewater Treatment Facility," Graf said. 

Federal legislation backs the local warning with the Protecting Infrastructure and Promoting Environmental Stewardship Act, PIPES, and the Wastewater Infrastructure Pollution Prevention and Environmental Safety, WIPPES Act.
