What's new

Keep fats, oils and grease out of the drain

Public Works safely treats residential and industrial the wastewater that goes down drains and into sewers, but keeping our infrastructure running is everyone’s responsibility. At home or at work, fats, oils and grease should never go down the drain. They can impact the sanitary sewer system and, for industrial users, can lead to fines under the County’s sewer use by-law. Questions? Contact seweruse@oxfordcounty.ca.
