Fats, Rags, Oils, and Grease (FROG) that are washed down the drain can contribute to sanitary sewer overflows and blockages. The City is exploring measures to reduce the amount of FROG that end up in our water supply. We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback to help us develop a comprehensive and proactive program to maintain quality water service for our neighbors.

A cost based on the size of the grease trap

A cost based on the estimated customer base

A cost added to the business license for commercial ventures with a grease trap
