§ 303.16. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The board of county commissioners find that it is in the interest of public health and safety and the environment to require the installation, maintenance and permitting of pollutant interceptors and grease traps for certain establishments. The board of county commissioners further find that current regulations and laws applicable to the installation and use of pollutant interceptors and grease traps are inadequate. As a result, grease and oil deposits in plumbing lines cause plumbing backups and sanitary nuisances, inordinate amounts of grease and pollutants in sewage treatment plants inhibits proper treatment of sewage, and the use of solvents, as a method of grease control by establishments, inhibits sewage treatment at sewage treatment plants and causes pollution of the environment.
