Grease traps and London’s food service businesses
London is the Madison County seat, a city of about 10,300 people west of Columbus. Downtown Main Street holds the older restaurants and storefronts, and the Madison County Fair fills the fairgrounds on Elm Street each July.
London's wastewater department maintains the city's main sewer lines and the plant that treats the flow. The city's own sewer guidance warns against putting grease down drains, and grease rules for local restaurants come from London rather than Columbus.
Older downtown buildings usually have indoor traps that need grease trap cleaning once buildup returns. Fair week brings food vendors and extra restaurant traffic, so schedule pumping ahead of it and keep each service record on file.
Grease trap services in London

London grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- London is outside the Columbus sewer contract area. Sewer service comes from the City of London's wastewater 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.
