Fats, oil and grease are the #1 culprit of sanitary sewer overflows. We’ve increased
compliance with inspections and cleaning programs and sewer overflows are now
at an all-time low. Agencies are even starting to achieve what was once thought
impossible – zero SSOs for an entire year. Coachella Valley Water District
recently achieved that milestone in 2021.
