From the desk of the Leonard City Administrator:
Citizens need to be aware that pouring grease down drains is causing a problem in
the sewer lines. This is costly and can cause a backup into your home. Grease from
any cooking should be disposed of in a more appropriate manner, such as placing in
a plastic bag after it is cooled and putting it in your garbage can.
