Colorado passed a law to keep wipes out of pipes. That isn’t stopping you nasties
It’s been over two years since Colorado passed a law meant to keep people from flushing wipes down toilets. But that hasn’t fully stopped the pipe-clogging practice. Senate Bill 23-150 required disposable wipe products, like baby wipes and antibacterial wipes, to be labeled with the phrase “Do Not Flush”. The issue reached a head during COVID-19 lockdowns, when more people were at home and using disposable wipes to disinfect surfaces and packages. … Anecdotally, [Metro Water Recovery’s chief operating officer, Liam] Cavanaugh said they’ve seen a reduction in the number of wipes passing through the facilities. But there’s still room for improvement.
