The wet wipe problem isn’t flushing away in Tauranga with calls suggesting new single use plastic rules from the government do not go far enough.
In 2018, Tauranga City Council launched the ‘Save our pipes from wipes campaign’ - highlighting how an elephant-sized amount of wet wipes were clogging pipes in the city every week.  
Tauranga’s history of pipe-bursting issues has been referenced by the Green Party in their response to the Government’s recently announced single use plastic regulations.
