Watched grimefighters a few days ago. There were two guys clearing the filters within one of the main sewage pipes - the big ones that you can stand in. One of them said that 80-90% of the rubbish blocking the filters were baby wipes or their equivalent. Surely the manufacturers need to make these things compostable.
You can't tell people what not to flush, there are too many dumbartons around, but you can at least cure some of the problem by dealing with the materials at source.
