FOG a Big Problem For District
The picture to the right is not snowballs in Cedar Key, but rather the result of putting fats, oils and grease (FOG) down the drain. These are grease balls that were recently removed from the system. Putting fats, oils and grease down the drain can really gum up the works and cause failure at the sewage treatment plant. This can in turn result in harmful discharges to the environment. It is important that all individuals and business in Cedar Key take great care not to dispose of fats, oils or grease down any drain.
--Always wipe grease off pots and dishes with a paper towel before washing or putting in the dishwasher.
--Always put used fats, oil, or grease in a container and then into the garbage.
