Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving.  My favorite holiday of the year.  I have such fond memories of this holiday every year.  Large family gatherings, nice and warm inside watching parades and football, men and boys all outfitted in blaze orange, the turkey displayed grandly in the middle of the table with the mashed potatoes, gravy, homemade stuffing, green bean casserole, squash, cranberry sauce, and rolls circling, and the pumpkin, apple, and pecan pies waiting anxiously in the kitchen while we slowly, happily, and gratefully enjoy the feast that I had absolutely nothing to do with creating and therefore is wonderful.  The sleepy tryptophan-induced napping that follows.  Overall sense of thankfulness that reminds us to remember how blessed we truly are.  Oh yes, and the wastewater backups. 

What?!
According to Colorado Springs Utilities, their biggest day of the year for wastewater backups is Thanksgiving day.  Because all that turkey creates a lot of grease, fat and oil.  According to Spokesman Dave Grossman, "As the grease goes down into their service line, it will start to solidify or harden, even before it gets out to the main line. And over time, that fat, oil and grease can start to build up and clog drains. And when that happens, it can cause a wastewater back up into your home."  That takes 100% of the fun out of the holiday. 

So avoid the sewer backups this season.  Let's all cool it a little on the clean up, and let that oil, grease, and fat cool in a can and then toss it in the garbage.  Here's to everyone having a very happy Thanksgiving, filled with everything that makes us thankful.
