  12. How can you help your Water District ? • Do not dispose of old medications or personal care products in the toilet. • Remove or get a sink strainer for your garbage disposal and deposit all non-biodegradables in the trash. It costs you money to send these waste materials to the treatment plant, as someone must remove them. - the bugs at the treatment plant can’t digest that stuff any more than you can. • Also do not put disposable wipes down the toilet. These often plug up the lift station pumps. • Conserve water use. This not only saves pumping costs but wear and tear on all components of both the water system and the sewer system.
