Jackson Jambalaya

I would understand a war on Grease II. It sucked! But Grease is the word that you heard... it’s got groove. It’s got meaning.

Watchout! That stuff may be all thats holding the sewer lines together!

Let's start a can the city council campaign

How much money did the city spend on this stupid cartoon? Will more people comply now? Did we trick them into compliance?

I'm not going to comment on Jackson's method, but it's not uncommon to attempt to educate your sewer customers on this. I speak from experience when I say that things poured/flushed into the sewer cause tons of problems. And they are costly. Fats, oils, grease, hair weave, rags, feminine plastic applicators, mop pads, etc. Dealing with sewer lines and sewer pump stations is extremely costly and time consuming. Most utility websites attempt to address this, and sometimes notes are placed on the bills. Consumers think everything is disposable. The stories I could tell .............

Should’ve used the money to fill a few potholes. A much more effective use of public funds.

8:45, sounds like be a pretty shi!!y job!

not withstanding the FACT that the city of Jackson has not maintained sewer infrastructure by any moderately acceptable level, I can respect that they did this as just watching neighbors not keep their curb and gutter clean or maintain the culvert under their own drive, or maintain the drainage swale along the edge of a road, or keep a storm sewer catch inlet clean of debris, has shown me that most people today do not really do their part where they can to help keep the city clean, or drainage effective, or just taking the time to can or jar up used grease!!

Does this include all of the palms in city hall that have been greased?

Jackson needs to try to educate their customers in any way possible. Maybe this is an effective means of doing so, or maybe it isn't.

People have no concept about how the things they flush or pour down the sink affect the sewer system. And it is costly. Trust me, I know. It is a constant battle in my daily work. And I'm in an area with fairly new sewer lines. But it's a problem every day, all day. The things we have found in the sewer system would surprise you.

Money well spent. People need to be educated on such things. Never ever put grease down a drain. Never ever put leaves down a rainwaterdrain. People do that then complain about their yardsflooding.

Now if they could just launch a war on potholes, or maybe water bills, or a war on greased palms, or maybe a war on crime.

Darryl Jenks of the Soul Glo company is filing suit against the city. Says this initiative is hurting his business.

How about start learning how to cook without fats oils and grease. Sewer and arteries would benefit. But, you know.....
