Enhancing a Fats, Oils, and Grease Program Utilizing ArcGIS
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): Xavier Davis

ArcGIS has aided Peachtree City Water and Sewerage Authority (PCWASA) in reducing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering the local Wastewater Collection System and Treatment Facilities. Through geovisualization, ArcGIS has become a problem analysis tool to help identify possible root causes of line backups and sanitary sewer overflows due to grease from FOG generators. In addition, ArcGIS has simplified the routing and planning of required grease trap inspections. The Authority's ArcGIS serves as the central database for all FOG generators in which attributes are captured and locations are mapped. This has made responding to customer concerns and inquiries straightforward and effortless.

ArcGIS has truly enhanced the PCWASA's FOG program by quick identification of clogged sewer lines due to grease, reduction of planning time and improved customer service.
