Contrary to the wording on wet wipes packaging, they are NOT flushable. Recently in Oxford, a 'fatberg' closed a major road in the city for several days causing chaos while a main sewer was cleared of kitchen fat and 'flushed' wet wipes. Water companies spend millions every year clearing sewers which are blocked by wet wipes. I don't know how the manufacturers can claim they are flushable when they clearly are not.
This week's Spectator featured a letter from a campsite owner who is having to close their site because of the dreaded wet wipes .
Don't flush them - you know it makes sense! (We all pay for it in the end!)
