Be mindful of what you flush
It might seem easier to flush items like wipes, cotton balls, or paper towels, but these don’t break down like toilet paper and can wreak havoc on your plumbing. Apartment living offers the convenience of a close-knit community without the responsibility of repairing appliances, roofs, or plumbing systems. However, that doesn’t mean these things don’t cause inconvenience.
Remember, toilets are designed for one thing — disposing of toilet paper and waste. Flushing anything else can lead to serious clogs or backups both in your home and the public sewer system, resulting in expensive repairs. To keep your pipes clear and your plumbing trouble-free, toss these items in the trash instead. A small choice now can prevent a major headache later. Keep your plumbing safe — flush only toilet paper and waste! Visit GwinnettCounty.com/WhatNotToFlush to learn more about what not to flush.

County brings free vision screenings to local children
Gwinnett has partnered with Vision To Learn to provide vision screenings, eye exams, and prescription glasses to children in underserved areas at no cost to the children or their families. Vision To Learn brings mobile clinics directly to schools, making eye care accessible to those in need. Through this partnership, the County aims to extend the organization's reach, helping to remove vision-related barriers to learning for school-aged children across the county.
The mobile vision program begins July 1, aiming to serve more than 590 students by the end of the year. The County is investing $100,000 in this initiative to help eliminate obstacles to accessing vision care due to financial constraints or lack of resources. For more information or to get involved, visit GwinnettCounty.com.
