New international flushability standards released

The International Water Services Flushability Group (IWSFG), a group of dedicated water professionals seeking to protect customers by providing clear guidance on what should and shouldn’t be flushed down the toilet, released its official Flushability Specifications, in an effort to curb the problem of improperly flushed objects; a widespread problem that causes countless sewer disruptions and tens of millions of dollars in maintenance costs every year.

The new guidance looks to curb multi-million-dollar damages caused by improperly-flushed products, the costs of which are paid for by every day consumers.
