Help Prevent Fatberg!
Keep our sewer system fat, oil and grease free.
Grease cannot be broken down effectively during the wastewater treatment process and cold weather solidifies grease
|
|
Not everything that goes into Guelph’s sanitary sewer system will
make its way to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Fats, oils and grease
poured down the drain or flushed down the toilet can stick to your
home’s sewer pipe. Just like a steady diet of greasy food can clog your arteries, grease
flushed down the drain blocks sewers. Over time, grease can build up
and eventually block an entire pipe, surging up through sinks, floor
drains and toilets, causing sewage backups and overflows that can cause
health hazards, damage home interiors and threaten the environment.
