It is the duty of the City of Buford Public Service Department to meet the conditions set forth in it's Georgia Division of Water Quality issued Collection System permit.
One facet of that duty is preventing introduction of excessive oil and grease waste into the City's sanitary sewer system and wastewater treatment plant.
