Grease traps and Baltimore’s food service businesses
Baltimore is a Fairfield County village of about 3,000 people, laid out as New Market in 1824 and served by a Baltimore post office since 1829. Its municipal offices sit on West Market Street, and the village center keeps a small-town mix of local restaurants and shops.
The village runs its own water and sewer department, so grease rules for food businesses come from Baltimore rather than from Columbus or the county. Kitchens in the older village buildings usually rely on indoor traps that need grease trap pumping on a regular schedule.
Baltimore has been a Tree City USA community since 2011 and is a short drive from Buckeye Lake, so summer traffic passes through town. Have the provider measure the trap at each visit and keep the service records together where the village can check them.
Grease trap services in Baltimore

Baltimore grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Baltimore is outside the Columbus sewer contract area. Sewer service comes from the Village of Baltimore's Water and Sewer Department, which sets the local requirements for grease interceptors.
- Pumping interval
- Confirm the required pumping interval with the village before setting a schedule. Interceptor sizing here follows the Ohio Plumbing Code, and the provider can measure the tank to suggest a starting point.
- Fullness limit
- Many central Ohio sewer authorities, including Columbus and the Delaware County district, use 25 percent of the tank's depth as the point to clean. Ask the provider to measure grease and solids at every visit.
- Records
- Keep the service record and disposal manifest from every pumping for at least three years, so you can show a maintenance history if the village or a health inspector asks.
