They'll be blocking more than 1,600 kilometres of sewers of Denver and compel the workers right down the more than 15 yards away, one by one, the wipes that prevent the "iceberg" to continue its path.According to Martinez, of rest, workers will perform this task once per month, so this is not a one-off problem."Recent mothers are throwing everything into our system. Seniors are using increasingly wipes and do the same thing, they throw them to the toilet and pull the flush. That's what is causing the problem, "said Martinez.According to the charge, the wipes tend to unite under the ground, forming a mass motionless and which can only be removed by hand.On the other hand, an inhabitant of Warren Avenue complained that the sewage was coming out.
