There have been a number of incidents over the last year where sewers have been blocked by wipes and sanitary products that should not be flushed down the toilet. This has happened twice in Hamsey Crescent within a month and resulted in soiled water flowing down the road and freezing as it ran across Highdown Road. Highways had to be called out to grit the road and put up signs because the road was so treacherous.
Please only put paper, pee and poo down the loo. Please do not put wipes (even flushable ones) or any sanitary products down the toilet as the sewage system is nearly 100 years old and very delicate. There is a poster on NRA website and Facebook page from Southern Water about protecting your home and the environment.
