The resulting backups of sewage are not a pretty picture,\u201d <strong>dijo el senador Merkley.<\/strong> \u201cAccurately labelling wipes and other products as \u2018non-flushable\u2019 is a necessary step to ensure consumers appropriately dispose of their waste.

Clear packaging labels could prevent service disruptions and costly repairs that may lead to rate hikes,\u201d <strong>dijo el representante McClain.<\/strong> \u201cThis is a win-win for taxpayers and our communities. I look forward to working with public works officials across our district to protect this critical infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cImproper disposal of wet wipes damages wastewater infrastructure, costing California utilities and consumers tens of millions of dollars a year,\u201d <strong>said Rep. Mullin.<\/strong> \u201cThat\u2019s why water professionals in California\u2019s 15<sup>el<\/sup> district and nationwide strongly support the <em>Ley WIPPES<\/em>, which mandates clear \u2018Do Not Flush\u2019 labeling. This commonsense legislation is a critical step in protecting our infrastructure and the environment. By providing consumers with clearer guidance, the <em>Ley WIPPES<\/em> will help reduce strain on our wastewater systems and safeguard taxpayer resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>El <em>Ley WIPPES<\/em> addresses the pervasive, but ultimately preventable, problem of the flushing of non-flushable wet wipes by establishing \u201cDo Not Flush\u201d labeling requirements for products such as baby wipes, household wipes, disinfecting wipes, and personal care wipes. Many of these wipes are composed of manufactured plastic fibers or other strong fibers, and while these products are not marketed as flushable, consumers frequently flush them into sewer systems as a means of disposal. Due to strong fibers, these types of wipes do not break down as they travel through the sewer systems. Instead, the wipes become magnets attracting fats, oils, and grease that become obstructions in sewerage systems pipes. These masses clog pumps, block sewer collection systems, and jam motors, leading to sewage backups and treatment equipment failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El <em>Ley WIPPES<\/em> is endorsed by the American Public Works Association, American Rivers, Association of Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (INDA), Bay Area Pollution Prevention Group, California Association of Sanitation Agencies, Center for Baby and Adult Hygiene Products, Consumer Healthcare Products Association, ISSA (the Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association), National Association of Clean Water Agencies, National Rural Water Association, National Stewardship Action Council, Oak Lodge Water Services, Oregon Association of Clean Water Agencies, The Coalition for Clean Water, Washington Association of Sewer &amp; Water Districts, Water Environment Federation, and 5Gyres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAmerican Rivers Action Fund endorses the <em>Ley de Prevenci\u00f3n de la Contaminaci\u00f3n de la Infraestructura de Aguas Residuales y Seguridad Ambiental (WIPPES) <\/em>to address the serious threat that wipes pose to our wastewater systems. Unlike ordinary trash, wipes clog treatment plants, leading to costly shutdowns and increasing the overall expense of water treatment. Each year, millions of tons of debris end up in our waterways\u2014jeopardizing water quality and impacting recreation in our communities. We urge Congress to support this bipartisan bill to tackle this growing infrastructure crisis,\u201d <strong>said Tom Kiernan, President and CEO of the American Rivers Action Fund.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cINDA is proud to continue its support for the <em>Ley WIPPES<\/em>, which was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives by an overwhelming bipartisan margin in 2024. The industry is committed to responsibly managing wipe products that are not designed to be flushable, protecting public infrastructure and the environment,\u201d <strong>said INDA President Tony Fragnito.<\/strong> \u201cThe passage of this important legislation will have positive impacts on the environment, wastewater agencies, consumers, and manufacturers by mandating uniform \u2018Do Not Flush\u2019 labeling for covered products.
