7/132016 Minnesota city sues makers of"flushable' wipes over clogged sewers - StarTridne.com <br />But down the line, wipes can catch on joints and tree roots, cities say. They wind around <br />pumps at lift stations, which bring wastewater to higher elevations, get caught in screens <br />and form massive dumps so common that they earned a nickname: polar bears. <br />Linda White, who has a house in Wadena County, was struck by Wadena's warning. <br />"Y think people really do need to be educated on why they should not be flushing them <br />into the septic systems," she said. I was shocked at how expensive it was to the city of <br />Wadena to take care of this problem." <br />jrom@startribune.com 612-673-7168 Bylenna <br />http./&w .stwtribue.com/minnesota-city-sues-makers-of-fimhable-wipes-over-clogged-sewers/301228331/ 212 <br />
