Welsh Water says it took hours to remove a mass of wet wipes stuck in a sewer in Ammanford after nearly causing a sewage flood.

The company is calling on all customers to avoid flushing any wet wipes down the toilet, warning that flushing just one wipe can mean sewers become blocked and flood homes and businesses.

The company has spoken to the customer to explain the impact of flushing wipes and has asked them to dispose of them responsibly in future.
