Excessive grease received at the Town sewer
plant continues to be a serious problem. We have continually notified
restaurant owners since 1975 of this problem and requested their cooperation,
but the same condition persists. This is a serious Town problem and
management of all food establishments must cooperate fully.
All food-service establishments must have grease
barrels to store their grease. All grease must be poured into these
barrels and the grease sold or given to rendering companies. All employees
must be instructed to use the barrels and not dispose of grease in
sinks, toilets, drains, etc.
All inside grease interceptors must be opened
and cleaned on a monthly basis. Management must maintain a maintenance
record signed by the food-service manager attesting that this cleaning
has been done.
[Amended 1-20-2005 by Order No. 2005-040]
All outside grease interceptors shall be checked
monthly and pumped, if necessary. All grease interceptors must be
pumped at an interval not to exceed three months. Maintenance records
must be available to the Health Inspector at all times.
