The City of Savannah Utility Department is requesting that customers refrain from flushing disinfecting wipes and baby wipes into the sewer system. The material used to make these wipes is not readily biodegradable and will result in clogging of gravity sewers and pump stations.

We anticipate the increased use of these wipes in our community and ask you to please dispose of the wipes with your solid waste garbage. Your cooperation will help our workers maintain the proper operation of our sanitary sewer system.
