DON’T LET SUMMER COOKOUTS CLOG YOUR PIPES
Summer cookouts, family gatherings, and festive seasonal celebrations often mean hearty meals are on the menu. That also means you’re likely handling more fats, oils, and grease (F.O.G.) in the kitchen.
It may seem convenient to rinse these byproducts down your kitchen sink or garbage disposal. But F.O.G. cools and hardens fast inside your home’s plumbing and our wastewater system. Over time, these materials build up. They restrict flow and increase the risk of wastewater blockages, backups, and costly repairs for individual homeowners and the overall community.
Help protect your home’s plumbing and our community’s wastewater system. Let grease and other fatty food waste cool, place it in a sealed container, and dispose of it in the appropriate waste bin.
