Section 001-332-7 - SANITARY SEWER AND DRAINAGE

There shall be an efficient drainage and plumbing system for the establishment and premises.

A. All drains and gutters shall be properly installed with approved traps and vents. The drainage and plumbing system must permit the quick runoff of all water from the establishment, and surface water around the establishment and on the premises, and all such water shall be disposed of in such a manner as to prevent a nuisance or health hazard.
B.Sewage and Establishment Wastes
(1) Discharge of sewerage or waste water shall be into a public or private sewage system. A private sewage system shall be approved by the appropriate municipality or regulatory authority prior to the Departments issuance of license or registration. The licensee or person registering the establishment shall provide the Department written documentation from the municipality or regulatory authority that the private sewage system is properly designed and installed for intended use.
(2) Grease traps which are connected with the sewerage system shall be suitably located but not near any edible products department or in any area where products are unloaded from or loaded into vehicles. To facilitate cleaning, such traps shall have inclined bottoms and be provided with suitable covers.
(3) Toilet sewage lines shall be separate from gray water drainage lines to a point outside the buildings unless they are positively trapped to prevent backing up. Drainage from toilet bowls and urinals shall not be discharged into a grease catch basin.
(4) All floor drains shall be equipped with traps, constructed so as to minimize clogging, and the plumbing shall be so installed as to prevent sewerage from backing up and from flooding the floor.
(5) Floor drainage lines shall be constructed and repaired with approved materials according to law and shall be properly vented to outside air.
(6) Where refrigerators are equipped with drains, such drains should be properly trapped and shall discharge through an air gap into the sewer system.
