A Fats, Oil and Grease (FOG) Campaign, sponsored by Boston Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC) seeks to raise awareness of Boston residents for the importance of keeping cooking fats out of household drains that lead directly to the water system, during the Thanksgiving weekend.
The Commission has already given how well over 3,000 can lids and there is till time for Boston residents to obtain grease lids by calling 617-989-7599 or by going online at www.bwsc.org.
Last year, the Fats, Oils and Grease Campaign helped to stop a build up in drains, which eventually could have caused both public and private sanitary sewer overflows.
These overflows introduce untreated wastewater into the environment and back up raw sewage into residential plumbing.
BWSC noted, if every Boston resident who received a grease late kit last year place one tablespoon of FOG each day into a can or jar, over 15.5 gallons of FOG would be kept out of Boston’s sewerage system daily, about 5,700 gallons annually.
