The sewer lateral is the owner's job
The city says that if a backup happens in your sewer lateral, the pipe on private property that carries your drains to the city's collection system, you are responsible for cleaning it up and repairing it. It recommends regular lateral maintenance to prevent root intrusion and grease buildup, and says cooled cooking oil can go back into a sealed container in the trash or to a Solid Waste Authority Home Recycling Center. Ask your plumber to check the lateral for roots if drains back up more than once. Source: City of West Palm Beach: Fats, Oil and Grease
