Toilet paper hoarding and shortages amid the coronavirus have apparently led to the clogging of New Orleans area sewerage systems, as residents have increasingly used nonflushable paper to stay clean. 

The Sewerage & Water Board said Friday it has been dealing with more sewer backups recently than is normal, and urged residents to "think before they flush." Jefferson Parish officials also described recent clogs.

"As a reminder, only human waste and toilet paper are flushable," an S&WB spokeswoman said. "Baby wipes, paper towels, and even 'flushable' wipes may clog your sewer line and cause overflows."

I bet they are glad they have an excuse for not doing their jobs now.

FALSE

I happen to know that Pineapple Hubig’s Pies and Barq’s Creme Soda are also flushable.
