Video was shot inside the Fort Wayne sewers. You can see the wheels of the remote controlled camera as it is stuck in grease that’s building up in the pipes. Fort Wayne City Utilities is asking residents to avoid sending fats, oils and grease (FOG) down the kitchen sink or flushing it down the toilet. Instead they should be thrown in the trash. The City of Fort Wayne spends more than an half million dollars a year cleaning grease out of our sewer lines. When grease gets into the sewer it can harden and build up, causing blockages in sewer lines and even home plumbing.

Is it mandatory that all utilities (gas, water, and lights) be turned on for a Detroit city house inspection? Can the inspection still be performed. I’m going to have a private inspection and the utilities will be on.

For what purpose is the inspection? If it is an inspection to check the progress or completion of new construction, generally the building authority will withhold permission to connect at least one utility (usually natural gas) until the final inspection. Their rationale is that the builder will more highly motivated to complete the project. Sometimes exceptions are made, especially if drywall is being taped and textured in the freezing cold of winter.

I don’t know what other city inspection you might have, but from your question it appears that your utilities will be on, so this should not be an issue. However, if you have any questions, call the inspector beforehand. They would rather talk first on the telephone than make a wasted trip to your house because you weren’t prepared.

City Council approved a utilities rate hike to help pay for cleaning up rivers.
