S. 480 | H. 805

An Act protecting wastewater and sewerage systems through the labeling of non-flushable wipes

Senate Sponsor: State Senator Jamie Eldridge
House Sponsor: State Representative Sean Garballey

Wet wipes are popular and are often mistakenly flushed. When they enter sewer systems, they cause major damage to pipes, pumps, and the environment. This bill would establish standards for classifying wipes and require those that do not meet dispersible standards to be labeled accordingly.
