(A) No later than one year after adoption of this subchapter, all users shall install grease traps or interceptors designed to limit the introduction, contribution and discharge of greases into the town’s wastewater collection system, or POTW. Grease traps and interceptors with appropriate sampling or inspection points shall be installed at the user’s expense whenever any user operates a commercial establishment, industrial establishment or a cooking establishment or when required by the Director of Public Works. Grease traps and interceptors must have a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons or more as required to effect a grease concentration maximum of 325 mg/l.
(B) Except as provided herein, for a period of one year following adoption of this chapter (7-11-2005), although installation of grease interceptors will be required to be installed, no enforcement actions will be taken under this subchapter for failure to achieve limits on grease discharges from grease interceptors.
(C) If an obstruction of a town sewer main(s) occurs that causes a sewer overflow to the extent that an impact on the environment is realized and that said 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 town’s sewer main(s), the town will take appropriate enforcement actions, as stipulated in the town’s ordinance, against the generator or contributor of such grease.
