Grease traps and Galena’s food service businesses
Galena is a village of about 1,000 people surrounded by Big Walnut Creek, Little Walnut Creek and the nearby Hoover Reservoir. It was platted as Zoar in 1816 and has had a Galena post office since 1834, and historic buildings still line its walkable downtown square.
Galena treats its own sewage, so the village sets the local rules for food businesses rather than Columbus or the county district. Kitchens around the square are small and usually rely on indoor traps, which need grease trap cleaning once hardened grease starts building up on the baffles.
New neighborhoods are growing around the village, and the trails and reservoir bring weekend visitors into town. A small trap serving a busy weekend can fill fast, so have it checked at each visit and keep the service records together in case the village asks.

Galena grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Galena is outside the Columbus sewer contract area. Sewer service comes from the Village of Galena, which provides sewage treatment, 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.
