Upcoming Webinar: Learn about the FROG Program from DC Water
Why It Matters: Fats, rags, oils, and grease (FROG) can create serious problems when they enter the sewer system. Grease can build up and solidify in pipes, while rags and disposable wipes can contribute to blockage, potentially resulting in sewer backups, overflows, and costly repairs. Proper management helps restaurants protect their plumbing. support the reliability of the District's sewer system and remain in compliance with applicable requirements.
What's Covered: DC Water will provide restaurant owners with practical information about FROG requirements, including the proper installation, maintenance, and cleaning of grease interceptors. The webinar will also explain applicable DC Plumbing Code requirements, what inspectors look forward during an inspection, and best practices that can help establishments prevent grease-related issues and maintenance compliance.
Why Now: This webinar builds on the ongoing partnership between the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington and DC Water to expand FROG education and outreach to the restaurant community. The session provides owners and operators with an opportunity to better understand the requirements, ask questions directly of DC Water representatives, and take proactive steps to prevent problems before they occur.
