This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for Food Service Establishments (FSEs) that discharge wastewater to the City of Denison, Iowa, sanitary sewer. The objectives of this chapter are:
1. To prevent the excessive introduction of fats, oil and grease (FOG) into the sewer system and the wastewater treatment plant;
2. To prevent the accumulation of grease within the sewer system which can lead to sanitary sewer pipe blockages and subsequent back ups and sanitary sewer overflows (SSO);
3. To reduce the costs of maintaining the sewer system by preventing the accumulation of grease and residue within the sewage system lines and ensure that the cost of maintaining the public sewer system is equitably distributed amongst users;
4. To clarify grease disposal requirements for Food Service Establishments;
5. To protect public health and safety from pollution caused by SSO.
