We’re pleased to be supporting @WaterUK's campaign, #BinTheWipe, and welcome today's announcement from @DefraGovUK.
Around 93% of all sewer blockages are caused by wet wipes being flushed down toilets and cost around £100 million a year to clear up across the country.
Billions of wet wipes are flushed down the toilet every year.
@theresecoffey has asked manufacturers to consider the use of the word ‘flushable’ on packaging, as incorrectly disposed of wet wipes can cause damage to the environment.

❗ We're asking customers to reduce non-essential water usage across Devon from 25th April through a Temporary Use Ban, or hosepipe ban ❗
This is a necessary step to safeguard supplies following limited & inconsistent rainfall over past months.
