Thank you for helping us keep the collection system running smoothly! #FOGs #ProtectOurPipes
As you prep for Thanksgiving, OWASA reminds you to dispose of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) properly, not down the drain. FOG's can harden in our community's sewer pipes, causing blockages and costly repairs. Save your leftover FOGs for future use or dispose of them in the trash.
