Sponsored by APWA’s Water Resources Management Committee Disposable products that are labeled “flushable” but do not rapidly disperse are causing increasing clogging problems for both consumer plumbing and publicly-owned gravity and pumping collection systems. Join this conversation about efforts to build more consumer and industry awareness and find solutions for this problem. 

Learning Objectives:

1.     Promote the importance of understanding your site specific conditions and then network with other stakeholders to build a cohesive and coordinated effort about non-dispersible products.

2.     Analyze the impacts of non-dispersible materials on wastewater collections systems.

3.     Improve public and ratepayer awareness about this issue.
