What do “garbage” disposal units have to do with grease clogging up drains? Grease clogged plumbing was around long before garbage disposals. I know they are abused by people too dumb to know what they should put in them but that’s mostly the user’s problem. Sounds as if the city is trying appear to solve their problem even if they don’t know how. I don’t understand why the city didn’t just put a huge tax on the use of the units. That would be more in line with a government solution for any problem.
Isn't that essentially what they've done? Fine, tax, it's all the same. Just consider it a $9,125,000 annual tax. Or $9,150,000 this year, since there are 366 days. Seems reasonable to me.
