Abstract:
Oil, grease, and fat cause about 30 percent of reported sewer overflows statewide. In Cary, these pollutants are responsible for between 50 and 80 percent of the town's overflows. To combat the problem, Cary and Raleigh require grease-producing businesses, such as restaurants and car garages, to use grease traps or be fined $1,000 for improper grease dumping. Raleigh is considering a ban on garbage disposals in new homes and apartments.
