Let the Poo Thru

A look into our daily flushing habits and how they affect the wastewater network

Ever wondered what happened to that $20 note or Grandpa's false teeth that found themselves getting flushed away? We do... along with many other frequently flushed items such as cotton buds, nappies and food scraps and they cause all sorts of problems at the treatment plant and along the way. Let the Poo Thru takes a look into our daily flushing habits and how they can affect the wastewater network. Just see what happens if you treat the toilet like a rubbish bin and don't stop objects falling into the toilet! Your challenge is to identify the bad items and keep them out of the toilet, while making sure you let the poo thru. See how many points you can get and share your score with friends.

In South Australia it's SA Water's role to manage and treat the majority of the state's wastewater, to protect the health of our community and the environment. We all contribute to wastewater so we can all play a part in helping to protect the system by keeping the bad things out and letting the poo thru!
