They might be out of sight, out of mind once they're flushed down the toilet, but single-use wipes are causing a headache for Calgary wastewater crews.
"For the wastewater treatment plants and just even our our collection system, they are becoming more and more of a problem," says Marissa Mitton, leader of the city's Wastewater Operations and Maintenance department.
The wipes, along with a whole host of other items not meant to be sent down the toilet or the sink, cause sewer backups in homes and businesses and clog pipes along city streets.
