Every building or room occupied or used as a public eating place or restaurant shall be well-drained. All soil pipes, waste pipes, drains or other plumbing fixtures shall be of adequate size to enable a passage of waste intended to pass through it to the main public sewer. All drains, sewers, waste and soil pipes, traps, and water in gas pipes shall at all times be kept in good repair and order so that no gases or odor shall escape therefrom and so that the same shall not leak, and all vent pipes shall be kept in good order and repair and free from obstruction.

Every building or room occupied or used as a public eating place or restaurant shall install or cause to be installed a grease trap. Said grease trap shall be installed at an appropriate location along the sewer line between the restaurant and/or food preparation facility and the line's entry into the main public sewer line in accordance with the Article 15 of the Allegheny County Plumbing Code.
B. 
It shall be the duty of any owner, lessee, or agent of any restaurant and/or food preparation facility shall annually inspect the sewer line and/or grease trap and present to the Borough an inspection certificate as proof that said inspection was accomplished.
All grease traps shall be maintained and kept in good working order. The traps shall limit the amount of grease discharged into the public sewer system to levels not exceeding those permitted by the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (ALCOSAN).
