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 also
could 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.
