FATS , OILS , AND GREASE
The PETF has an interest in educating the public about the importance of properly disposing of fats , oils , and grease ( FOG ), and has partnered up with the Wastewater And Treatment Education Roundtable ( WATER ) on FOG-related educational efforts . WATER is an educational partnership between municipalities and water utilities in North Texas and is supported through a different program area , but elements that the PETF were informed about for participation purposes are included below .
WATER continues to make several educational materials and tools available to PETF participants , such as videos that target apartment dwellers , restaurant staff , and residential homeowners . WATER also completely updated its website as part of their FY18 and FY19 project ( www . defendyourdrainsnorthtexas . com ) and merged CeasetheGreaseNTX . com into the new website . PETF members are encouraged to refer to the new website and the resources available there . A handy city-by-city Grease Interceptor Brochure for restaurants in the region ( updated in 2015 ) remains available at http :// defendyourdrainsnorthtexas . com / restaurants . html .
