MECHANICSBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
This holiday season, Pennsylvania American Water is back with a 30-second version of its award-winning animated public service video reminding customers to properly dispose of FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) to avoid household plumbing and sewer line clogs. The video features ugly sweater-wearing characters Fats, Oil, and Grease as uninvited holiday party guests who threaten to wreak havoc on their host’s pipes.
Pennsylvania American Water reminds customers that, if poured down the drain, oils and grease that come with traditional holiday staples (like your grandmother’s delicious turkey gravy) can stick to the inside of pipes and cause buildups that clog pipes and lead to sewer overflows.
Taking these easy steps to avoid FOG clogs will help protect your pipes and our watersheds:
Never pour grease into sinks, toilets or down drains. Garbage disposals do not prevent grease clogs, and detergents that claim to dissolve grease may cause problems in other parts of the sewer system.
Instead, allow grease to cool and use a rubber scraper to remove fat, oil, and grease from cookware, plates, utensils and cooking surfaces. Then place the grease in a sealed container and dispose of it in the trash.
Install a strainer in your kitchen sink to catch scraps and empty them into the garbage.
