Pollution?

thank you, that makes me feel better.

I guess one would probably not notice it unless you are higher up the mountain. I worry a little just because of the signs in the restrooms, not to throw toilet paper in the toilet. Is that because there is no facilities to break down the paper?

Thanks again for the info. My husband is a plumber and he is amazed how things are so differently piped. Its a different world , but that is also why I love it there. A whole nother world only 5 hours away.

Ignorance is not bliss

not to throw toilet paper in the toilet

CLOGS UP THE TOILETS
EVEN SOMETIMES WITH A GOOD LONG SOLID SHIT
GETS MESSY

BUT STILL
IT HAPPENS
I HAVE MODERN FACITIES
TELL ALL TO PUT THEIR WASTE PAPER IN A BASKET PROVIDED FOR THEM
AT TIMES THEY DO CLOG UP

In a basket... so unhygienic, have to always tell visitors to use the toilet for that, they have become so accustomed to crummy tubing even in other countries...

Actually Chico is right. Paper towels are not made to break down rapidly in water, but toilet tissue is.

I am sure Chico is talking about toilet paper, not paper towels. Almost every public restroom in PV tells you not to put paper in the toilet (meaning toilet paper). Toilet tissue/paper clogs up pipes in most places in PV due to the sewer pipe construction The newer construction has newer plumbing/sewer technology.
