Lawrenceburg Utility Systems is advising its customers to exercise caution regarding what they dispose of in their drains. Recently, the department has encountered a rise in problems stemming from the disposal of substances such as motor oil, cooking oil, and grease, along with wipes and cloths that individuals have been putting down their drains. These materials can lead to significant blockages in the pipes, resulting in waste backups that create challenges not only for residents but also for the service crews tasked with maintaining the system.
Moreover, these issues can lead to increased costs for customers, as repairs and maintenance become necessary to address the clogs. To mitigate these problems, the utility company is reminding residents that used oil can be recycled at the county’s transfer stations located in both Lawrenceburg and Loretto. By properly disposing of these materials, customers can help prevent costly plumbing issues and contribute to a more efficient waste management system.
