Protect Your Pipes From FOG When Cooking for the Holidays

As you start your holiday cooking this week be sure to keep fats, oils and grease (FOG) out of your drain. 

FOG comes from meat fats in food scraps, cooking oil, butter, gravy, salad dressing and other fats. 

FOG poured down kitchen drains accumulates inside sewer pipes and begins to solidify as it builds up inside the pipes. This restricts the flow and can cause untreated wastewater to back up into homes and businesses. It can also cause manholes to overflow.
