§ 2:257. Fats, oils, and grease removal.

(a)

Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the authority, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand; except that such interceptors shall not be required for residential users. All interceptor units shall have covers with mechanisms for secure closing and shall be of type and capacity approved by the authority. They shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. It shall be the responsibility of the user and owner, at the owners expense, to regularly inspect, clean, and repair each interceptor and the cover and closing mechanism thereof. The introduction or addition of any product or substance which causes grease or oil to pass through the interceptor is strictly prohibited. It shall be the responsibility of the user and owner to insure that the cover is in place and securely closed at all times except during use, inspection, cleaning and repair. Failure to maintain the interceptor in proper working order shall be cause for discontinuance of sewer service. All interceptors shall be of sufficient size and design determined by the authority.

(b)

Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances shall be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
