This podcast episode delves into the issue of sewer backups in our city, with Epcor reporting a surge in incidents due to improper flushing habits. Over 70% of these backups are linked to non-flushable items like wipes, tissues, and feminine hygiene products, which combine with fat, oil, and grease to cause blockages. Abhishek Bhargava, Epcors senior manager, stresses the importance of responsible flushing habits, reminding us that only bodily waste and toilet paper should go down the drain. By disposing of non-flushable items in the trash, we can help maintain our citys sewer system and prevent costly plumbing issues.
