Officials in Owensboro are urging their customers to avoid flushing bathroom wipes

City officials in Owensboro, Kentucky, are calling on the public to help them with an on-going sewage issue.

Products marketed as Flushable Wipes continue to cause problems as residents flush the sheets.

Officials at the waste water plant say, the usage of wipes have become a much bigger problem, as residents flush the sheets.

Plant officials say, flushable wipes have already caused more than $10,000, when the sheets caused a blockage at their plant.

The add, the best thing to do is throw the wipes away, instead of toilet.
