Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) enter the sanitary sewer system through sinks, dishwashers, and any other equipment
connected to the sanitary sewer plumbing. Over time these substances cool, harden, and accumulate. FOG build up along the walls of the pipes can lead to a sanitary sewer overflow inside your home, business, adjacent buildings, streets or the environment. These spills create a safety hazard that endanger public health and impact the health of our environment. Removal of FOG blockages in your home’s drain lines is expensive and messy. FOG in sewer lines increases maintenance of the City’s sewers, raising sewer rates for all customers.
