Grease Down the Drain

No Grease

No Fats or Oils

Grease, oil and fat (FOG) should never be poured down your drain and any greasy dishes or pans should be wiped with a paper towel before being washed. Even a small amount of grease will harden and build up inside your pipes and sewer lateral over time, causing your drains to become clogged and, eventually, causing the Authority's sewer lines to become blocked as well.

Sewer Blockage Formation

Partially Blocked Sewer Line

In Susquehanna Township, the homeowner is responsible for the care, maintenance and replacement of the sewer line that connects your home to the Authority's sewer line in the street. Don't risk a backup of sewer in your basement or bathroom and costly plumbing repairs to your home when all it takes is a few minutes to dispose of the grease properly!
