Patty Potty

Patty’s message — NO WIPES IN THE PIPES — might be staged in the 50’s, but it continues to be vitally important in today’s water-conscious world. Watch for Patty as she launches her crusade to promote sewer-friendly behaviors, utilizing water bill inserts, brochures, spots on local radio, in print ads and features, social media (Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube), and a dedicated section on several websites. There will be a short online “live” presentation by Patty, and she is also available for limited personal appearances to share her “Potty Talk” with local audiences.

“People are flushing all kinds of things down the toilet!” Patty points out. “It’s not a trash can, you know! Some paper products and wipes are advertised as ‘flushable’ but they aren’t. Sure, they will flush down, but they won’t flush OUT. Wipes don’t decompose… they get caught up in wastewater treatment plant screens and filters — and that costs money to clear and repair!”
