Personnel are forced to go to the pumping stations in Strängnäs several times a week to rectify stops caused by fault flushing, which costs both money and resources.
Everything possible is flushed down, for example, paper napkins are a common bow that causes major problems at the pumping stations. They are made of a different type of fiber than regular toilet paper and easily get stuck in the pumping devices.
No fault cleanersBut the Strängnäs residents that SVT met on the town certainly do not look like any fault-polishers.
