REGULATIONS & INSPECTIONS

The City of Columbia has a FOG program to address and prevent FOG from entering the sewer system.  Standards and limitations on materials that may be discharged into the City's sanitary sewers are established in the City Code of Ordinances.  This helps protect the equipment in the treatment process and is required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.  Appropriate portions of the Code, Chapter 23, Article IV, Section 23-101 through Section 23-115 can be viewed at www.municode.com or at the links below.  You can also call 545-3400 to request this information by mail.
