Some desperate California residents resorted to using shredded T-shirts in the absence of toilet paper during the coronavirus crisis – but ended up wiping out a sewer line.

Wastewater management officials in Redding said workers had to take swift action to prevent a dangerous spill after the soiled fabric caused a backup.

“The pumps were clogged by what appeared to be shredded T-shirts that were used in place of toilet paper,” the city said, according to the Redding Record Searchlight.

As a result of the crappy situation, officials put out the word: “Bag it. Don’t flush it.”

Happening around here, too. One suburb told residents not to flush paper towels, baby wipes, or other wipes down the toilet. They had a couple of near-blockages in the city sanitary sewer.
