Aquona adheres to the “Do not feed the sewer monster” campaign to celebrate World Sanitation Day.

It is a campaign of the urban water sector promoted by the Spanish Association of Water Supply and Sanitation (AEAS) to raise public awareness about products not suitable for disposal by the toilet.

Aquona, a company in the environmental sector that manages services linked to the water cycle in Castilla y León and Castilla-La Mancha, celebrates World Sanitation Day that is commemorated today by calling attention to the problems generated by wipes and other solid waste They are discarded by the toilet.
For this, Aquona has joined the awareness campaign ‘Do not feed the sewer monster’ promoted by the Spanish Association of Water Supply and Sanitation (AEAS) on products not suitable for disposal by the W.C. and to which a hundred companies in the sector have joined.
The objective of this initiative is to avoid environmental and economic damage caused by obstructions and damage to homes, sewage networks, pumping equipment and treatment plants.
The signatories of the Declaration of Adhesion to ‘Do not feed the sewer monster’, among which Aquona is, have agreed on the following points:
• They undertake to promote and disseminate this citizen awareness and awareness campaign, each to the extent of their capabilities and possibilities for action.
• The campaign will affect that only 3 Ps: pee, poop and toilet paper ─ products that comply with the UNE 149002: 2019 ─ standard, that is, urine, feces and toilet paper (the 3Ps of English: Pee, Poo and -Toilet-Paper). In that sense, all wipes and personal hygiene products must be clearly labeled and disposed of in the bin or trash. The manufacturers of wipes and personal hygiene products should provide consumers with clear and concise information on disposal methods.
• They commit to trying to contact organizations in their local sphere of influence to involve them in awareness and awareness actions such as this campaign or others related to this problem.
AEAS and the signatory entities continue to work actively both in public awareness and in the technical solution of this problem, since throwing wet wipes and other products through our toilets is producing significant negative effects.
