Gas Safety Awareness


During this unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, we encourage everyone to make health and cleaning a top priority to help combat the spread of germs.

However, some individuals are flushing used cleaning wipes instead of disposing them in the trash. These wipes can cause damage to sewer systems and equipment even if they are labeled "flushable" or "septic-safe."

This is leading to sewer blockages across the U.S. and increasing the risk of potential obstructions near underground natural gas pipelines.
