City officials: Don't throw baby wipes down the toilet!

Decorah Water Superintendent Todd Ihde is asking the public for help.

Ihde says baby wipes and other cloth wipes that are getting flushed down the toilet are "causing a lot of issues" for the city.  While the wipes are listed as "decomposable," that's only if they are given enough time.  When they're flushed down a toilet, they can clog up pumps in the city's sewer and water system.

The solution is simple, says Ihde--don't throw baby wipes down the toilet!
