“the state and the municipalities take all steps to water supply and sanitation are also in particular times of crisis,” said environment Minister Ulrike Höfken (Green) on Wednesday after a video conference with representatives of the associations of the utility industry. Clean drinking water and sanitation for the protection of the people and the waters are relevant to the system. Höfken, called for wet wipes and kitchen to dispose of the crepe over the rest of the garbage and to not throw in the toilet. “One Problem is the disposal of Alternatives to toilet paper or waste on the toilet.” Also, diapers, disinfectant wipes and other hygiene items were not in the toilet, but in the rest of the garbage. These materials are tear-resistant and not dissolved in the water. So they can cause blockages of pipes, drains and Overflows. The then possible damage, ranged up to the destruction of pumps and other components in waste water treatment plants.
