not, in excess of one hundred (100) mg/l or containing substances
which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between thirty-two
(32) and one hundred fifty (150) degrees Fahrenheit (0 and 65 degrees
centigrade).
(2)
Interceptors shall be cleaned a minimum of once a quarter by an approved
TCEQ permitted hauler. Interceptors must be maintained in an efficient
operating condition by removal of accumulated grease, oil, or sand.
(3)
The wastewater superintendent and wastewater operator may require
more frequent cleaning of interceptors than once a quarter or upgrading
of an interceptor to the current requirements in the plumbing code,
if the interceptor discharges grease, oil, or sand into the sanitary
sewer system.
(4)
Any person responsible for discharges requiring an interceptor shall
at his own expense and as required by the approving authority provide
equipment and facilities of a type and capacity approved by the approving
authority, locate the interceptor in a manner that provides ready
and easy accessibility for cleaning and inspection, construct a control
manhole of a type approved by the approving authority between the
interceptor and the sanitary sewer system, and maintain an interceptor
in effective operating condition.
(b)
Records.
(1)
The owner, operator, or manager of premises which have a interceptor
shall have records that show all of the items listed requiring a interceptor.
(2)
The owner, operator, or manager of the establishment shall maintain
a file that includes, at a minimum, maintenance reports for the current
month and the previous twelve (12) month period. The records shall
be kept on the premises at all times and shall be made available for
review during normal business hours upon request by the wastewater
superintendent or his authorized representative.
(c)
Disposal of grease, oil and sand.
The grease collected
from a grease interceptor, any waste cooking oils and greases used
in food preparation, or any oil or sand from a oil/sand interceptor
may not be discharged into any sanitary or storm sewer. The grease,
cooking oil, cooking grease, oil, or sand collected shall be taken
to an authorized facility for disposal by a TCEQ approved hauler.
(d)
Use of bacteria or chemicals.
No bacteria or chemicals
may be added to an interceptor without the approval of the wastewater
superintendent. The wastewater superintendent may permit the use of
any specific bacteria or chemical on a temporary or permanent basis,
if the bacteria or chemical will not cause problems in either the
sanitary sewer system or the publicly owned treatment works.
(e)
Undersized interceptors.
(1)
An undersized grease interceptor installed prior to November 1, 1993,
which does not have additional future fixtures installed, is not required
to be replaced in conformance with the current plumbing code, provided
that the interceptor does not discharge grease into the sanitary sewer
system.
(2)
The wastewater superintendent may require any interceptor which discharges
grease into the sanitary sewer system to be replaced with a grease
interceptor which conforms to the sizing standards.
(3)
The owner, operator, or manager of premises that have a grease interceptor
which discharges grease into the sanitary sewer system shall replace
the interceptor within thirty (30) days from the date of an order
issued by the wastewater superintendent.

An approved TCEQ hauler will be issued a ticket which will consist
of five copies which are distributed as follows: one part goes to
the generator at the time of pickup, two copies go to the disposal
facility operator, one copy is for the transporter to keep on file,
and the final copy must be sent back to the generator of the waste
within 15 days. The transporter must maintain trip tickets for at
least five years in a readily accessible centralized location.
(g)
Enforcement.
(1)
Generally.
Failure to timely clean and keep grease interceptors
and sand/oil interceptors clean causes or may cause substantial interference
to the publicly owned treatment works, or may cause damage to sanitary
sewer facilities or structures, or otherwise may create an emergency
condition requiring immediate corrective action. The cleaning of the
interceptors and the recordkeeping required in conjunction therewith
is subject to enforcement.
(2)
Sampling port accessibility.
The sampling port of a
grease interceptor must be readily accessible to city employees for
monitoring activities.
(h)
Penalty; liability for costs of damage.
(1)
The penalty for violation of this section is a class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine in an amount in accordance with the general penalty provided in section 1.01.009 for each offense.
(2)
Liability for costs of damage.
If owner, operator or
manager of premises fails to clean any grease, oil or sand interceptor
as set forth in this article, and the city determines that the failure
caused damage to any city pump station, lift station, or other sanitary
sewer equipment, the city may charge the owner, operator, or manager
for the costs of repair and add such cost to the owner, operator,
manager’s water bill. Failure of an owner, operator, or manager
to satisfy the financial responsibility for damages caused by said
owner, operator, or manager’s service address where the grease,
oil, or sand interceptor is operating/located shall be grounds for
disconnection of services until such time that the liabilities are
paid in full in accordance with the city’s collection policy.

(2)
The waste will not impair the treatment processes.
(3)
The person discharging such waste pays a monthly surcharge to the
city in addition to the usual monthly sewer service charges. Computations

discharging waste into the sanitary sewerage system of the city to
furnish the approving authority with drawings or plans and specifications
in such detail as he may require to determine if the pretreatment
structure planned by such person, or in use by such person, is suitable
for the purpose intended; however, the approval of such plans by the
approving authority will in no way relieve such person of the responsibility
for modifying the structure once constructed as necessary to produce
an effluent acceptable to the approving authority under the terms
of this article.
