Grease traps and Heath’s food service businesses
Heath is a Licking County city of about 10,400 people next to Newark. It is home to the Great Circle, part of the Newark Earthworks and one of the largest circular earthworks in the Americas, and to the Licking County Regional Airport. Indian Mound Mall, Licking County's first indoor mall, opened here in 1986.
Much of Heath's dining sits in the retail corridor along Hebron Road, which is also State Route 79, where chain restaurants on large lots typically have outdoor interceptors. Those tanks are serviced by vacuum truck and do best on a fixed grease interceptor pumping schedule.
Heath runs its own utilities department, with a wastewater plant that dates to 1962 and has been upgraded to handle peak flows of 7 million gallons a day. Grease rules here come from the city, and Newark next door runs a separate system, so check which utility serves your address if you are near the border.

Heath grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Heath is outside the Columbus sewer contract area. Sewer service comes from the City of Heath Utilities Department, which sets the local requirements for grease interceptors.
- Pumping interval
- Confirm the required pumping interval with the city 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 city or a health inspector asks.
