Since employing EEC’s FOG consulting services, public collection agency clients have routinely realized significant reductions in FOG-related sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) within their jurisdictions. Such success is borne by the combined effort of inspection of food service establishments (FSEs), public outreach and education, effective reinforcement of best management practices, and periodic mechanical cleaning of sewers, particularly for hot spots or high-maintenance locations.
