Stay FOG-Free! Keeping Fats, Oil, and Grease (FOG) Out of Your Sink

The holiday season is a great reminder that when it comes to cooking oil, be sure to keep a lid on it - a FOG can lid that is.

Ensuring you’re rain ready this season is not just about staying dry – it’s a critical step to prevent sewer spills and safeguard our environment.

Below are tips to make sure you are rain ready:

Did you know?!

Did you know the small stickers on produce can create problems in the sewer system, potentially leading to clogs and extra maintenance costs?

They can also clog up recycled water irrigation systems. They can stick to the inside of your sewer pipes or clog the filters at our local treatment plant, the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility.

Follow our Instagram to learn how we collect and
transport over 4 million gallons of wastewater daily -
24/7, 365 days a year.

We will be sharing environmental
tips, photos and videos of our
wastewater process, public service
announcements, photos that you
send us, and much more.

We’re responsible for maintaining over 200 miles of sewer lines, most are located under the streets, but some run through private property.

In order to maintain pipelines on private property, the District owns easements, which are essentially paths above the sewer line that allow District staff to access the area. These paths are regularly maintained (generally twice a year) to make sure we have easy access to manholes.
