Join Pippen and the Pipe Patrol to Protect Our Waters

All water on Earth is the same – oceans, lakes, streams – even the water inside our own bodies. Plants, animals, you and me – we all need water to live!

In an effort to help our community understand our relationship with this precious resource, SESD created The Pipe Patrol. Lead by Detective Pippen, Pipe Patrollers learn that what goes down our sinks, toilets, and tubs can harm the water we all share.

It’s important to know that waste affects our water quality, and that household water/sewer bills go up when costly repairs are required due to people flushing things they shouldn’t. By stickering non-flushable items in your home or business, we hope to raise awareness that only the three P’s (Pee, Poop, and toilet Paper) should go down the drain and everything else is trash – even those so-called “flushable wipes” or food scraps. Just because it can flush or drain, doesn’t mean it should!
