Get ready for the Super Bowl's SUPERFLUSH

Super Bowl half time show and the SUPERFLUSH

Sewer departments across the country—including Miami-Dade’s—are bracing for the so-called Halftime Flush. It’s a yearly phenomenon when an estimated 90 million people flush about 350 million gallons of water down the toilet at the same time: during halftime of the big game.

Miami-Dade’s water-watchers said Tuesday the worst that could happen is a temporary loss of water pressure. To be on the safe side, people could stagger their flushing.

Some tips for keeping things flowing smoothly on Super Bowl Sunday:

• Use single-ply toilet paper.

• Keep a trash bin in the bathroom and tell guests not to flush paper towels or napkins.

• Remove small items near the bowl that could fall in and cause a clog.
