"how come the practice is not banned nationwide?"
It should be.
A few years ago I had to get Dyno-Rod out on a Sunday. The property is at the head (i.e highest part) of a shared sewer running along the back of about five terraced houses and sewage was overflowing into the garden.
Credit to DR - they sorted it out pretty quickly with a hooked implement passed along the sewer, which pulled out the offending material. The blockage was not on my property, but several doors down, and consisted largely of wipes.
What hacked me off afterwards was that none of the other house-owners would contribute to the cost, even though the blockage was not on my property.
As Ambo says, the test is what happens if you leave a wipe in a glass of water - overnight is as long as is necessary, according to the DR guy. Toilet paper will disappear; a wipe will not. The rule is: toilet paper and human waste are the only solid things that should ever be put down the loo.
