Protect Your Pipes

As the holiday season approaches and festive meals are prepared, many households generate extra fats, oils and grease (FOG), all common byproducts of cooking. While it may seem harmless to pour these substances down the drain, doing so can lead to serious plumbing issues. When FOG cools, it solidifies, creating blockages in pipes that can result in costly repairs and even sewage backups, affecting homes and neighborhoods alike.

保持排水管道畅通和社区供水系统顺畅运行的技巧

  • Let FOG cool; dispose properly. After cooking, allow FOG to cool, then pour it into a container (such as an empty can or jar) and place it in your green waste container.
  • Wipe before washing. Use a paper towel to wipe pans and dishes to remove residual grease before washing them.
  • Do not use wipes in pipes. Keep wipes out of drains, even those marked “disposable,” as they are not safe for our sewer system.
