Fats, oil and grease; oil and sand interceptors.

A. Fat, oil, and grease interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Chief Plant Operator and/or Superintendent of Sewers, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of fats, oil, grease, flammable substances, or other harmful substances; except that such interceptors shall not be required for single private living quarters or single living units, whereas they shall be required for multiple dwelling units or other buildings which generate a sufficient quantity of grease to cause a buildup of grease in the interceptor downstream of their connection to the public sewer and for buildings which have large kitchens, cafeterias or centralized dining facilities, restaurants, hotels.B.

All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Chief Plant Operator and/or Superintendent of Sewers and shall be located where they will intercept sewage from the facilities generating these substances prior to being mixed with other sewage and where they will be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Interceptors should be gastight and watertight.C. Where it is determined by Chief Plant Operator and/or Superintendent of Sewers that a grease trap is required for a building with multiple kitchens or cooking areas and it is prohibitively expensive to separate the plumbing from those areas to a common grease trap, individual grease traps or approved grease reclamation units or other measures to control the grease may be approved by the Chief Plant Operator and/or Superintendent of Sewers.D.

Grease interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly as needed, by the owner, at his expense. Records and receipts for cleaning, including the date, quantity of waste removed, and the name and address of the contractor removing the waste, shall be maintained and made available to Town personnel for inspection at their request for at least three years. The owner will make grease traps available for inspection by the Town of Webster Sewer Department.E. Grease removed from the interceptor shall not be discharged into the Town's POTW without written permission from the Chief Plant Operator and/or Superintendent of Sewers.

The contractor shall keep records of the location of the final disposition of the grease removed from the interceptor. Those records shall also be made available for the Town's inspection at its request for at least three years.F. Oil interceptors shall be installed at service stations, or where in the opinion of the Chief Plant Operator and/or Superintendent of Sewers they are necessary for the proper handling of waste containing oil in excessive amounts.G. Sand interceptors must be installed for car washes or where in the opinion of the Chief Plant Operator and/or Superintendent of Sewers they are necessary for the proper handling of waste containing excessive amounts of sand.H.

If, after being directed by the Town to do so, interceptors are not constructed or maintained adequately, the Town may do this work or arrange to have it done by others, then back-charge the owner for the cost of this work. If the owner does not pay the charges for this work, the unpaid charges shall be levied against the property owner as a lien against the property and collected in accordance with § 257-155 of this chapter.
