Reduce Fats, Oils and Grease in Sewer System
The Health Department works with the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) to reduce the amount of fats, oils and grease getting into its sewer system. In the Food Protection Program, we work with food service facilities to ensure that grease is disposed of properly, not into the sewer system. The Environmental Engineering Program investigates overflowing sewer complaints in streams. Most of these overflows are the result of some sort of blockage of the sewer lines. That blockage is generally the result of grease, which usually comes from a food service facility that is not maintaining their grease abatement system.
