"Water has become a highly precious resource. There are some places where a barrel of water costs more than a barrel of oil."
-Lloyd Axworthy, Foreign Minister of Canada
Welcome to the Mendham Borough Water Reclamation Facility Home Page.
There are lots of products out there that we Use in the bathroom. Some of them are labeled “flushable” but, unfortunately, they’re not. The sanitary sewer system wasn’t designed to transport anything but toilet paper, water and human waste. It carries these away from your home and into wastewater treatment facilities where the wastewater is cleaned before returning to local waterways. When you use your toilet as a trash can, the trash clogs the system’s lines and pumps, leading to breakdowns and sewage overflows. These sewage overflows often require expensive repairs and harm the health of our local waterways.
Never flush the following items:
- Facial tissues
- Paper towels
- Baby wipes/hygiene wipes even if labeled flushable
- All-purpose cleaning wipes
- Diapers
- Cigarette butts
- Dryer sheets
- Toilet bowl scrubbing pads
- Cotton swabs
- Feminine hygiene products
- Cat litter
- Fats, oils and grease from the kitchen
- Food scraps from the kitchen
