Update law requiring restaurants to remove grease from wastewater
In Plain English
Restaurants and food businesses must install devices to catch fats, oils and grease before wastewater goes to the city treatment plant. The updated law adds stronger requirements for these grease traps and gives the city more power to enforce violations. This prevents expensive clogs in city sewer lines that can cause backups in neighborhoods.
