• The most effective way is to keep grease out of the sewer system. Some best practices are:

  • Reduce the amount of grease going into the sewer drain by wiping off greasy pots, pans and kitchen utensils
   
  • Don’t dispose of salad dressings, creams and butter in the drain
  • Clean grease interceptors at regular intervals (recommended when 60 percent capacity is reached)
  • Keep outdoor grease containers and dumpsters covered
  • Don’t use degreasers, emulsifiers and hot water to clean lines. While they break down grease in the facility, the grease can congeal downstream in sewer lines
  • Regular pumping of a grease interceptor is an effective way to keep the interceptor clean
