Does Gwinnett have a serious FOG problem?
Fortunately, the County has a strong spill prevention program and one of the lowest records of incidences in the metro area. While FOG does not cause every overflow, it contributes to the majority of them. And it is impossible to entirely eliminate FOG from the system. Even with the low number of backups, the aftermath of FOG-related overflows can be expensive. In 2008, the County spent more than half a million dollars on clean-up and property restoration caused by FOG-related overflows.
