We've said it before and we'll keep saying it: "flushable" wipes aren't safe to flush, no matter what the label says. 🚽💧 They don't break down like toilet paper and are still a top cause of clogs and backups. Wipes go in the trash.

💧 Keep Your Yard Green While Conserving Blue 🌅 Water early or late to reduce evaporation. 🧹 Sweep patios and driveways instead of hosing them down. 🌼 Choose drought-tolerant plants and add mulch to help retain moisture. Small changes can make a big difference.
