As part of its ongoing Toilets Are Not Trashcans campaign, NACWA submitted comments on the regulations for flushable wipes proposed by the District of Columbia (DC) Department of Energy and the Environment (DOEE). DOEE was required to develop these regulations by the District’s wipes labeling law, the Nonwoven Disposable Products Act of 2016. The law and the proposed regulations are the first in the US related to the labeling of wipes.

The latest installment of the webinar series, Enabling the Water Resources Utility of the Future, is set to air on May 16, at 2:00 – 3:30 pm ET, exploring the topic, “Achieving and Maintaining Economic and Social Health for the Community.”
