The regulations regarding fats, oils, grease, and sand interceptors are provided in title 8, chapter 5, Interceptor Regulations. Interceptors or other necessary removal facilities shall be installed on the premises when, in the opinion of the WWTP Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, high concentrations of blood, fruit, vegetable, or grain liquors, milk wastes, or any flammable wastes, oils, sand, and other harmful ingredients. All interceptors or removal facilities shall be of a type and capacity approved by the WWTP Superintendent and shall be so located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Where installed, all fats, oils, grease, and sand interceptors shall be maintained by the owner or occupant, at his expense, in continuously efficient operation.
In all cases where a building is used as a hotel, boarding house, restaurant, service station, garage, etc., the owner or occupant shall provide a properly constructed grease trap through which all wastes of a greasy nature shall be drained. The WWTP Superintendent shall have authority, and he is hereby authorized and directed to compel any person to provide and use a grease trap as aforesaid whenever, in his judgment, the same is necessary.
