Grease within the Carrollton's sewer lines is a constant problem.  The city spends thousands of taxpayer dollars per year to clean and flush the city's sewer lines.  Grease within public as well as private sewer lines is responsible for a great number of sanitary sewer overflows.  These sanitary sewer overflows are a threat to public health and to the environment.  To reduce the number of public and private sanitary sewer overflows and to combat grease in the sewer lines, the city has established the Grease Eradication Program.
