Residents in Flagler Beach are once again being reminded that what goes down household drains and toilets can have a major impact on the city’s sewer system and infrastructure.

Grease, oils, food waste, wipes, and other materials continue to create costly sewer blockages and backups in communities across Florida and nationwide. Public works officials regularly encourage residents to take simple preventative steps at home to help reduce clogged sewer lines, emergency maintenance, unpleasant odors, and costly repairs.
