Metro Vancouver wants feds to define that "flushable" wipes aren’t really flushable

Metro Vancouver is calling on the federal government to clearly define what should be flushed down the toilet as it continues to deal with the ongoing problem of clogged sewers. “When wipes and other unflushable products are flushed down the toilet, they can clog pipes and sewers and this leads to an estimated $250 million a year of extra costs across Canada,” Dana Zheng, manager of Metro Vancouver Liquid Waste Source Control told Global News. Zheng said people flush these wipes because they are marketed as flushable but they are not. Global's Emily Lazatin reports.
