Watershed Management

Managing FOG Interceptors -- FOG Interceptors are very useful in collecting FOG from kitchen wastewater, but they must be periodically serviced in order to be effective. FOG Interceptors are usually above ground or in ground tanks that allow water draining from a kitchen to slow down. When the wastewater slows, oil can float to the surface and solids can fall to the bottom as sludge. The wastewater between the top layer of FOG and the bottom layer of sludge can exit the FOG Interceptor and flow into the sewer system.
