Many household items, including tampons, condoms, diapers, dental floss, cotton swabs and rags should not be flushed down the toilet. Even wipes labelled ‘flushable’ or ‘biodegradable’ should not be flushed down the toilet because they don’t dissolve and can clog pipes. Fat, oil and grease can also block home plumbing and pollute our waterways when they are poured down the sink or toilet. Help prevent blockages to your plumbing and City sewers and harm to our environment.
The City is doing a survey of the Church Street Pedestrianization Project that my office and the Church-Wellesley Village BIA is operating on Church Street between Wellesley Street East and Alexander Street until August 21. Your feedback will help inform the City's response to future street closures here and across the City. If your a resident who has been to Church Street, take the survey! And if you haven't yet been, come see what you're missing then take the survey! The survey closes September 7, 2026.
