Trick-Or-Treating Safety

As Halloween approaches, let’s ensure a fun and safe night for everyone by keeping these safety tips in mind: 

Pedestrian Safety

  • Make sure kids are visible by using reflective gear or glow sticks. 
  • Prioritize safety when choosing a trick or treating location. 
  • Travel in groups
  • Determine a central meeting point in case your group gets disbanded
  • Stay on sidewalks and cross streets at designated crosswalks.
  • Stay aware of your surroundings, be cautious of other adults who might approach children
  • When trick or treating, always walk up to the door with your child

Road Awareness

  • Drivers, please slow down and be extra cautious, especially in residential areas during peak trick-or-treating hours from 6 to 9 PM.
  • Trick-or-treaters may be harder to see in the dark.

Costume Safety

  • Choose costumes that allow for clear vision and avoid tripping hazards. 

Candy Checks

  • Parents, inspect candy before letting children enjoy their treats. 
  • Discard any items with opened packaging or suspicious appearances.

By following these safety measures, we can ensure a happy and safe Halloween for all in our community. Enjoy the spooky season!

8/26: National Toilet Paper Day

Every time you flush, you’re making a choice that impacts your home, your community, and the environment. With today being National Toilet Paper Day (August 26th), it’s crucial to remember that only toilet paper should go down the drain. Flushing anything else, like wipes, can lead to costly plumbing problems, environmental damage, and higher utility bills. 

Toilet paper is the only paper product engineered to be compatible with the sewer system. Wipes, including those marked as “flushable”, cause significant issues to plumbing and infrastructure. 

A 2019 study examined over 100 different kinds of “flushable” wipes, and found that none of these products broke down enough to safely pass through home plumbing and public sewers, without risking clogs or damage. 

The National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) conservatively estimates that wipes cause about $25 million dollars in damage and maintenance costs each year in Texas alone. These costs can be passed along to the consumer in the form of higher water bills.

In honor of National Toilet Paper Day, do yourself and your plumbing a favor by only flushing toilet paper. Together, we can reduce costs, prevent clogs, and keep our water systems flowing smoothly.
