The Fog Log—Collection System (Georgia)
Stainless aeration/mixing log for lift-station wet wells—breaks up Fats, Oils & Grease (FOG) (fats, oils, grease) that caps wells and drives clogs, odor, H₂S, and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs).
Why Georgia, not Florida: Florida doesn’t report Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) to EPA (state-only Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)). Georgia does—and leads the nation in FOG-caused overflows. It’s also Risen Water’s home state. So the Fog Log’s live target list is a Georgia play—and it doubles as the entry point (see National Opportunity).
The signal (live EPA Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) data): 270 FOG-caused sewer overflows across 33 Georgia utilities (Apr 2025–May 2026), filtered to cause Blockage—Fats/Oil/Grease. Every one a dry-weather event—so it’s grease, not stormwater—exactly what the Fog Log prevents. Top utilities:
