Don’t flush THAT! Don’t drain THAT!Typical domestic

waste pipes are only 100mm (4 inches) wide (approximately the

size of this circle), so unsurprisingly when inappropriate items are flushed down the toilet

or poured down the drain blockages occur.

Blockages in the sewage system are unnecessary and easily avoided, by flowing the 3 P’s rule.

If in doubt -

BAG IT & BIN IT.Blockages can cause sewage system

breakdowns, pump failures and flooding of your home and garden with raw

sewage and dirty water.
