Description
DPW began working before 6:30am this morning on an emergency clog that threatened to create a sewage back-up into buildings in the area. John (shown in the photo) was threading a camera into the pipes. He said there was a massive grease clog. The grease is likely from restaurants not properly disposing of oils. I wonder if there can be better outreach and enforcement to minimize emergency after-hours work by DPW.

I oversee the restaurant at the address listed 189 Bank St (El Cortijo). For our part, everything that leaves the kitchen passes through a Grease Trap that is cleaned and serviced quarterly. All used fry oil is collected and recycled by a 3rd party company that produces biodiesel.
This outlet to the city main needs to be maintained more frequently. This was acknowledged to me by a DPW emoloye the last time this occurred.
