California American Water is offering helpful advice to customers and the public on how to properly dispose of Fats, Oils, and Cooking Grease (FOGs) to protect their home plumbing and wastewater systems. When FOGs are poured down the sink, they can cool and form a thick sludge that clogs pipes. Dishwashing detergents and garbage disposals are not effective at breaking down these substances, which can cause a slow accumulation over time.
