DON’T DUMP FAT, OIL, AND RAGS INTO SEWER SYSTEM
It’s happening again! Cowra’s sewerage system is being loaded with inappropriate materials that are causing havoc with the network.
Large volumes of fats, oils, and grease, as well as foreign objects such as clothing, metal, plastic, and porcelain are continually fouling-up sewer mains and settling tanks at the Cowra Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). “Residents and ratepayers are reminded that any items and materials that are put down sinks, toilets, and industrial drains all end-up running through a system that is designed for water and human waste only,” Cowra Council Works Engineer — Waste and Water, Peter Ford said. “As well as long-term problems with foreign materials, we’re also currently having huge problems with large amounts fats, grease,Skills and oils that Grantof Writing
are being dumped in the system from home and industrial kitchens. “These liquids do not break-down or dissolve, they form fat balls that are about the size of golf balls that must then be removed manually from the settling tanks of the STP so as not to contaminate the waste,” Peter explained. “Don’t dump grease, oils and fats down the sink, scrape them into your general waste bin before washing; as well as being better for our sewerage system, it will also save your dishwasher and pipes from clogging and blocking-up,” Peter concluded. For more information, contact Council on 6340 2070. Fats, grease, and oils being dumped in the sewerage system do not break-down or dissolve but form fat balls that must be removed manually from the settling tanks of the STP.
