🚽 Friendly reminder to help keep plumbing working well for everyone

Please do not flush wet wipes, paper towels, sanitary items, nappies, or other non-toilet paper items down the toilet.
These items may block drains, and tenants must pay for clearing the blockage.
This means you will be invoiced for charges related to blockages caused by these products.
Even products labelled “flushable” can cause blockages and damage pipes, leading to messy and costly repairs.

Only flush the 3 Ps:✔️ Pee✔️ Poo✔️ Toilet paper

Thank you for helping us look after our homes and communities.
