FATS, OILS, & GREASE PROGRAM
 Fats, Oils and Grease...sound disgusting? Fats, Oils and Grease (commonly referred to as FOG) enter the City of Columbia's sanitary sewer system every day. These items present a big problem in the sewer system. Improper cleanup practices allow food particles, oil and grease, and cleaning products to flow to the sewer system. These types of problems create environmental and public health concerns. When not disposed of properly, FOG form thick layers inside the sewer system and prevent normal flow. Clogged systems result in sewage spills, overflows, and odor problems. In addition to this, FOG also attract insects and small animals, causing worse problems.
