Public Enemy Number One-FOG!!
| Fats, Oils and Grease-known collectively as FOG-represent the most serious enemy of our public sewer lines. When FOG is dumped
down the drain, it goes straight into our sewers and forms large, thick grease balls that clog the pipes.
Clogged pipes can result in spills, creating environmental problems, traffic tie-ups, or even flooded businesses. Read more in this brochure. |
