Reminder: Never Pour Grease in Your Drain

Grease blocks sewer pipes! Never pour grease in your sink drain. When grease washes down the sink, it sticks to the insides of the pipes that connect your home to the town's sewer. It also coats the insides of the town’s sewer pipes. Eventually, the grease will build up and can completely block sewer pipes. The blockage can create difficult and expensive maintenance problems for both the town and private property owners. To prevent sewer backups and blockages, please be mindful of what items you are pouring into your sink drains! And, while we have your attention, the only thing you should ever flush down a toilet is human waste (urine and feces) and toilet paper. Please keep in mind, products that are labeled as "flushable" are not sewer friendly and should not be flushed. Refer to the graphic below for more information.
