A Redding, California, wastewater crew responded and removed the cut-up T-shirts to unblock a clogged line.
Someone apparently used shredded T-shirts when they didn't have toilet tissue, wastewater management officials said Thursday.
As a result, one of the city's sewer lines backed up at a lift station and workers had to take quick action to avert a dangerous spill. "The pumps were clogged by what appeared to be shredded T-shirts that were used in place of toilet paper," the city said. If you don't have toilet paper, city wastewater officials have this advice for other materials:"Bag it. Don't flush it."Ryan Bailey, assistant director of public works, said a resident called to say a toilet wasn't flushing.
