Grease Traps (FOG)

Many of you may not have heard about this, but ask any restaurant owner and they will burn your ears off for the next hour. Grease traps are required in restaurants to prevent grease from entering the sewerage system, clogging said system thus preventing costly maintenance. This makes sense. The City of Worcester is cracking down and making sure that all restaurants are in compliance--makes sense.

Where is gets kind of confusing is that all drains are being required to have a grease trap; for example, a mop sink. There is alot of confusion on this since some of this is coming down from the EPA. In the end if every restaurant (keep in mind this includes Pizza Places, small breakfast joints, etc) in District 4 is required to put a grease trap on EVERY drain---people will end up going out of business.
