Garff Commissioners urge residents to 'be careful' of what they flush down the toilet

Garff Commissioners are asking that residents be careful of what they flush down the toilet. 

The local authority says its received several reports of 'sewerage related items' found on Laxey beach and floating in the bay.

It's added the issue has been made worse by the warm weather and low level of water in the Laxey River. 

Commissioners say items such as sanitary products, wet wipes and cotton balls should never be flushed down the toilet to prevent this type of pollution on our beaches.
