“Biocope is the only produce we have ever used for Grease and Odor that worked. We are expanding to more life stations.”

Treatment with Biocope began at the Lift Station in October 2002 (right side of Image 1.1) Biocope was added further up the line at Tortilla Flats in January 2003 (left of the center of Image 1.1). Treatment at Sushi Naomi began on May 6, 2003. The Santa Margarita Water District is furnishing Biocope at no charge to all three restaurants being treated. Since treatment began there have been no further odor complaints from the real estate office located on the line.
Prior to treatment, these lines were cleaned every month. The line was cleaned on December 5, 2002 after filming, and, as of May 6, 2003, it has not been cleaned since.
The Peppino’s restaurant (left side of Image 1.1) is untreated and its flow runs downstream to the treated section at Tortilla Flats.
