Very true, no such thing as a “flushable wipe”

Oh it will go down the hole, usually. They are not quickly degradable as they have plastic fibers in them. We, along with all other utilities that have wastewater facilities too, constantly deal with clogged pipes, manholes, pumps, and screens. It’s costing millions per year in infrastructure resources, really. Yet it’s not a notable topic in the news.

Out in the country most folks know it’s not the best idea to flush even toilet tissue. The very best is the single ply everyone hates. Colored paper is out of style and was particularly slow to break down. It fills up your septic storage tank. Usually around $300-400 to get it pumped out. Then they bring it to a wastewater treatment plant and under permit dump it there.

Your shit may go down the toilet but it don’t go away. Lol. I used to deal mainly with the water side but we manage both clean and dirty water, and I have dual license.
