MISSION — Sweatpants are meant to be worn, not flushed down the toilet.
But the City of Mission found out the hard way over the Christmas holidays that a pair of sweatpants caused a major clog in one of the city’s sewers after somehow getting flushed down the toilet.
In a statement released Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 10), public works crews from the City of Mission quickly got to work removing the mess and repairing the damage to the city’s sewer system.
However, the event serves as a good reminder that the only things that should be flushed down a toilet are toilet paper, poo, and pee.
