Handwashing is an important and effective way to combat diseases, especially COVID-19 transmission. Effective handwashing with soap can block pathogens from transferring to other people or surfaces. Be sure to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, but to help conserve water, turn off the tap while you scrub!

Exciting news! California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB818 late yesterday, a bill requiring all packaging for diaper wipes, cleaning wipes and cosmetic wipes to clearly display “DO NOT FLUSH” warnings. 🚽🚫
Also known as the WIPPES Act, West County Wastewater was one of many supporters of the bill. Wipes – even those labeled as flushable – clog pipes and cause backups and overflows, resulting in damage to homes, businesses, neighborhoods, sewer systems, wastewater treatment equipment, and the environment. Read the full story here: bwnews.pr/3DjOd6H and learn more about how to prevent overflows at http://www.wcwd.org/customers/sewer/#overflow-prevention.
