Festival officials have told food vendors that used cooking oil must be disposed of in the containers and should not be dumped into a manhole or storm drain inlet. Each container can hold 290 gallons or 1,200 pounds of grease.<\/p>\n<p>Fats, oils and grease, especially fats used for cooking or produced as a by-product of cooking, can accumulate in sewers and cause blockages. When sewers become blocked with grease, sewer backups can occur. City Utilities spends over $300,000 each year cleaning grease out of sewer lines. Lots of grease does make its way through the sewer system and to the Water Pollution Control (sewage treatment) Plant where it interferes with the Plant&#8217;s treatment process.<\/p>\n<p>The grease hoppers in the Sprint Food Alley will be available for grease disposal throughout the 10-day event. The hoppers will be emptied mid-week and removed on Monday, July 21.<\/p>\n<p>City Utilities employees will be handing out information about keeping sewers &#8220;fat-free&#8221; during the Fort Wayne Newspapers Three Rivers Festival. City staff will have a booth at the Festival Marketplace from Thursday through Sunday during the Marketplace hours. City employees will also distribute grease information at the Children&#8217;s Fest at IPFW from 10 a.m. to 4 PM on Thursday, July 18, and Friday, July 19.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='510c36eb329b43feb781d48bfa22b459' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
