(A) It is the declared policy of the City to discourage and prevent discharge of food wastes into the sanitary sewer system when such food wastes could be disposed of in a manner other than discharge into the said sewer system. Where the disposal of such food wastes, particularly by commercial and institutional users of the system is allowed, the method and manner of such disposal shall be as required in the subsequent portions of this Section.
(B) Domestic and commercial food waste disposal units shall be connected and trapped separately from any other fixture or compartment, except that a continuous waste with a flow directing partition will be acceptable for domestic units. All units may have either automatic or hand operated water supply controls; however, domestic units shall be provided with an approved inlet cover having waterway passages for use during grinding operations.
(C) No waste from a food waste grinder shall be discharged into or through a grease interceptor.
(D) Waste grinders and their installation in restaurants, institutions, food processing or storage plants and similar operations shall meet the requirements of this Chapter as well as the Uniform Plumbing Code. An installation will be permitted only upon the finding of the City that other methods of disposal are not feasible and that the City sewer system can properly handle the waste. (Ord. 632, 7-28-93)
