Urgent Message from the Department of Public Works

Avoid costly plumbing service calls
flush

The Town of Chesapeake Beach Public Works Department is receiving emergency calls of  sewer backups caused by homeowners flushing paper towels and "flushable wipes" down the toilet. As a reminder, "flushable wipes" are not flushable and damage private and public infrastructure.

These backups are occurring on the Homeowners side and will only increase if residents continue to flush products that are not “toilet paper”. We understand the times at hand and suggest if its not toilet paper, or human waste, to throw it in the trash to not create a back up in your line. Private plumbing services are delayed and costly at the current time. Thanks for your help in this situation.
