The program set forth in this subchapter is necessary because:
(A) Oil and grease can obstruct the flow of wastewater in the collection system by accumulating on the inside walls of pipes;
(B) Oil and grease increase the pollutional load that must be treated at the WWTP. This reduces WWTP efficiency by increasing treatment costs;
(C) Maintenance costs. The town spends additional dollars per year unclogging pipes in the collection system and physically removing oil and grease at WWTP; and
(D) Much of the oil and grease originates with commercial and institutional food preparation establishments.
