Augusta, GA · J.B. Messerly WPCP · fits The Fog Log

The signal

20 Fats, Oils & Grease (FOG)-caused sewer overflows (cause: Blockage—Fats/Oil/Grease), most recent 2026-04-20—all dry-weather, so it’s grease, not stormwater.

The call

20 grease overflows since last year. The Fog Log keeps fats/oils/grease emulsified in the wet well so it can’t cap and clog the lift station—fewer overflows, fewer emergency callouts, no capital retrofit.
