saving our environment for future generations each year commercial and industrial kitchens generate millions of pounds of grease if allowed to enter a sewer system this grease will cool and coagulate on the piping solidified grease on pipe interiors restricts flow and causes capacity problems and blockages these blockages can cause raw sewage to back up and spill out of manholes and onto city streets properties and into the basements of homes and businesses these sanitary sewer overflows are unsightly and unpleasant present a potential health hazard and clean up can be difficult time consuming and costly in the worst-case scenario raw sewage can overflow to a storm sewer or directly into streams rivers lakes or oceans these overflows are illegal and constitute a serious environmental economic and public health threat the u.s epa now requires that municipal sewer authorities implement a pre-treatment program to regulate and control grease discharges to reduce and eliminate sanitary sewer overflows the new epa regulations impact most food service establishments discharging wastewater into a sanitary sewer these facilities may now be required to install pretreatment systems like high performance automatic grease recovery devices or large volume gravity grease interceptors in order to comply with their grease discharge requirements by reducing the levels of grease discharged into the sewer system the program ensures the protection of america s multi-billion dollar public investment in our treatment infrastructure and the improvement of our nation s water quality 6
