David Gray, Director of the Nantucket Sewer Department, recently reminded the community not to flush wipes into the Town or Sconset sewer systems (even if the package says they are flushable). They can snag and cause a pipe blockage. The Town has had to deal with between 2,500 and
4,000 lbs. of wipes in one week that have caused back-ups and need to be removed which is time-consuming and costly.
