Food Service Establishments, or FSE’s, need to be serviced by Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning services (KEC’s) normally 3 or 4 times annually (though some are monthly). During this servicing there can be a significant amount of waste water expelled into the sewer and storm sewer system, which in turn, often makes its way into the local water courses. The cleaning agents used in the industry contain strong chemicals and caustics needed to break down restaurant grease into a washable form. Once these chemicals are expelled into the water, they can negatively impact fish and plants, even potable water sources!
