In Plain English
The city regulates how restaurants and food businesses dispose of cooking grease to prevent sewer blockages. Current rules need strengthening because grease buildup clogs pipes and causes expensive repairs. If approved, restaurants face stricter requirements for grease trap maintenance and disposal methods.
