Community members heading to Geelong’s Waterfront as the weather warms up this weekend are urged to dispose of wet wipes correctly when using toilet facilities.
‘Flushable’ wipes, baby wipes and make up wipes don’t break down in the sewerage system and cause blockages and overflows.
A significant number of wipes flushed down toilets at Eastern Beach over the New Year’s Eve long weekend resulted in the sewerage system failing and City crews clearing a metre-long blockage from the system.
The toilets at Cunningham Pier were also clogged during this time.
