(KMZA)--The city of Seneca is urging residents not to flush wipes and other items down their toilet.

Unless it is toilet paper, the city says it should not be flushed.

That includes wipes of any kind, diapers, paper towels, feminine hygiene products and facial tissues. The city says those items must be disposed of in a trash can.

City officials say putting such items down toilets causes sewer lines and pumps to plug and can cause raw sewage to back up.
