Things can get drippy this time of year for water mains. If you think there's a break nearby, check the repair map. Makes a handy bookmark. www.arlingtonva.us/Government/P...

Thursday reminder: The toilet is not a trash can. Flush only bodily byproducts and paper from the roll. ANYTHING else is a threat to sanitary sewer lines and the watershed, as seen (and smelled) with the big recent mess in the Potomac. www.arlingtonva.us/Government/P...

Never flush wipes, even the kind that allegedly break down. They don't and the whole wipe family can cause serious damage to sanitary sewer lines. Case in point: the Potomac Interceptor, of recent headline fame. www.arlingtonva.us/Government/P...
