(A) Upon approval by the Public Works Director/Town Engineer, a grease trap complying with the provisions of this section must be installed in the waste line leading from sinks, drains, and other fixtures or equipment in food service establishments where grease may be introduced into the drainage or sewage system in quantities that can effect line stoppage or hinder sewage treatment or private sewage disposal.
(B) Grease traps sizing and installation shall conform to the Uniform Plumbing Code.
(C) No grease trap shall be installed which has a stated rate flow of more than 55 gallons per minute, nor less than 20 gallons per minute, except when specially approved by the Public Works Director/Town Engineer.
(D) Grease traps shall be maintained in efficient operating conditions by periodic removal of the accumulated grease. No such collected grease shall be introduced into any drainage piping, or public or private sewer.
(E) Wastewater in excess of 140°F/60°C shall not be discharged into a grease trap.
(F) Except as provided herein, for a period of one year following adoption of this subchapter, although installation of grease traps will be required, no enforcement actions will be taken under this subchapter for failure to achieve limits on grease discharges from the facility. If, during this one-year period, an obstruction of a sewer main(s) occurs that causes a sewer overflow to the extent that an impact on the environment is realized and the overflow or failure of the sanitary sewer collection system to convey sewage can be attributed in part or in whole to an accumulation of grease in the sewer main(s), the town will take appropriate enforcement actions, as stipulated in the Industrial Pretreatment Enforcement Plan and Sewer Use Ordinance, against the generator or contributor of such grease.
