Sewer Services
Sewage Treatment
Every toilet flush, bubble bath, and load of laundry produces wastewater. Learn how we process millions of gallons a day, using a system that turns dirty water into drinking water.
Preventing Sewer Backups
Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) poured down drains can cool, solidify, and accumulate in pipes, blocking sewer lines and leading to costly backups or overflows that contaminate property and waterways. To help prevent sewer issues, never pour grease down the sink or floor drain. Small changes in the kitchen go a long way toward protecting your home, community, and the efficiency of the wastewater system.
Before washing, use a paper towel to wipe FOG from dishes and dispose of it in the trash.
Always pour cooled grease into a disposable container and throw it away.
Restaurants must install grease traps to prevent FOG from entering the public sewer system.
