Grease...
It's a Pain
in the Drain.
Pouring grease, oil or fat down the
drain? OUCH! It can block our sewer
lines, causing wastewater to back
up. And that can hurt our drinking
water at its source. It can harm the
environment and your property, too.
Wastewater overflow is costly to
clean up, which could also hurt our
committed efforts to keep your rates
down. That's why at PWC, we urge
you to follow these guidelines … so
you won't have a pain in the drain.
• Pour grease, oil or fat (let it
cool if it's hot) into a disposable
container and put it in the trash.
• Wipe grease from pans with
a paper towel before you
wash them.
• Never put meat scraps down
the drain.
• Compost vegetable scraps or put
them in the trash – instead of
throwing them down the drain.
• Don't put other solid objects
down the drain or flush them
down the toilet.

Environmental section of our
website.
