Got a FOG violation notice in Addison? What to do
A grease (FOG) violation notice usually lists what the inspector found and a date to fix it. Here is what the official Addison source says, then the steps to take.
What to do now
- Find the deadline and the items cited on the notice. The notice, not this page, sets your deadline.
- Call or email the program if anything is unclear, and ask what proof they want.
- Book a pump-out if pumping, grease level or records are cited. Find one in the pumper directory.
- Keep the signed manifest and your maintenance log. A printable cleaning log helps.
- Don't use enzymes or additives to push grease through unless your program allows them; several programs ban them.
- Stay ahead of the next one with free pump-out reminders on your city's schedule.
