§ 53.054. INTERCEPTORS.

(A)

Grease, oil, hair, lint and sand interceptors are to be provided when, in the judgment of the Director, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease or any other restricted substance in excessive amounts or any flammable wastes, sand, or other harmful ingredients; except that those interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the City and shall be so located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.

(B)

All new and existing businesses or industries that wash cars will be required to install and maintain an oil/water separator in the sewer service discharge. For outdoor car washing, the wash pad must be sheltered so stormwater will not be discharged to the sanitary sewer system. Complete containment of all car wash areas using curbing or mountable traffic bumps is required to prevent runoff of wash discharge to storm drainage facilities. All new and existing businesses or industries that use petroleum base products in day to day activities will be required to install an oil/water separator in the sewer service discharge if floor drains connect to the sanitary sewer. No domestic effluent shall be allowed to discharge through the oil/water separator as stated in the plumbing code section of the Florida Building Code.

(C)

All units have to meet the standards of the Florida Plumbing code effective March 1, 2009. If a later edition of this code or subsequent amendments are made to the applicable minimum code, then those revisions or amendments shall automatically become the adopted code under this chapter.
