FOG descends on Point Arena: Council urges public to keep fats, oils, grease out of sewers

The Point Arena City Council has unanimously approved sending formal letters to residents and business owners asking them to stop putting fats, oils and grease (also known as FOG) or similar waste down drains connected to the city’s sewer system.

Point Arena’s sewer system was originally installed in the 1930s. There have been renovations and replacements since, but some of the old infrastructure still exists, according to the city’s website.
