Happy Thanksgiving from Leucadia Wastewater District🍂
Are you frying your turkey this holiday season? If so, you might need to dispose of a large amount of cooking oil.
Your first instinct might be to dump the oil, either outside or down the drain, but both of these options can have negative environmental effects.
Did you hear the news?💧
Much clearer disposal information for wet wipes is coming to a shelf near you! After years of legislative work, Assembly Bill 818 has been signed into law by the Governor! This bill establishes the “Do Not Flush” wipes labeling & public education requirements in the country. This is a huge win for consumers, the wastewater sector, and for the environment!
