The following provisions shall apply to commercial garbage.
(A) A wastewater discharge permit shall be obtained for the disposal of waste from garbage grinders or garbage disintegrating machines, except for those installed in dwellings.
(B) Waste from garbage grinders shall not be discharged into a sanitary sewer, except where the user has obtained a permit for that specific use from the town and agrees to undertake whatever self- monitoring is required to enable the town to equitably determine the user charges based on the waste constituents and characteristics. Such grinders shall shred the waste to a degree that all particles will be carried freely under normal flow conditions prevailing in the public sewer. Garbage grinders shall not be used for grinding plastic, paper products, inert materials, garden refuse, human, animal or fowl constituents and metals. Excessive or unnecessarily large quantities of water shall not be used to flush ground garbage into the sanitary sewer.
(C) The following provisions shall supplement the state building and plumbing codes, or other applicable rules and regulations, of the town and the state.
(1) Any type of business or establishment, such as, but not limited to, restaurants, bakeries, donut shops, takeout or drive-in eating establishments, ice cream or milk drive-in stations, hospitals, hotels, markets, recreation or reception halls and the like, where any grease or other objectionable materials may be discharged into a public or private sewage main or disposal system shall have a grease interceptor.
(2) Interceptors shall be constructed in accordance with the prior approved design by the Public Works Director.
(3) Each grease interceptor shall be so installed and connected that it shall be at all times easily accessible for inspection, cleaning and removal of the intercepted grease. A grease interceptor may not be installed in any part of a building where food is handled. The proper location of the grease interceptor shall meet the State Plumbing Code and the approval of the Public Works Director.
(4) Each business establishment for which a grease interceptor is required shall have an interceptor which shall serve only that business establishment.
(5) Buildings remodeled for a use requiring interceptors shall be subject to these regulations.
(6) Waste discharge from fixtures and equipment in the above mentioned types of establishments which may contain grease or other objectionable materials, including, but not limited to, scullery sinks, pot and pan sinks, dishwashers, food waste disposals, soup kettles and the like, and floor drains located in areas where such objectionable materials may exist, may be drained into the sanitary waste through the interceptor when approved by the Public Works Director. Exception: toilets, urinals and other fixtures containing fecal material may not flow through the interceptor.
(7) The interceptors shall be maintained in efficient operating condition by periodic removal of the accumulated grease. No such collected grease shall be introduced into any drainage piping or public or private sewer.
(8) Abandoned grease interceptors shall be emptied and filled as required for abandoned septic tanks in the State Plumbing Code.
(9) The cover for grease interceptors shall be one-half inch thick steel plate that is reinforced as required by the Public Works Director, said reinforcing to depend upon the load to be imposed on the plate. Except as otherwise provided, the cover shall be gastight on all interceptors, and the waste shall enter the interceptor through the inlet pipe only.
(10) Interceptors shall be installed in such a manner that drainage from areas outside the area intended to be served may not enter.
