Grease traps and Powell’s food service businesses
Powell grew from a settlement of 387 people in 1980 to more than 14,000 in 2020, and its center is still the Four Corners, where State Route 750 meets Liberty Street. The village was first called Middlebury, a name local streets still use, and its restaurants cluster around that crossroads.
Powell's sewer service comes from the Delaware County Regional Sewer District, whose Olentangy Environmental Control Center on Olentangy River Road finished a $46 million renovation in 2026. The District publishes detailed grease rules, so food service operations here should expect inspections and paperwork.
Under District rules, every grease interceptor must be fully pumped and cleaned at least every 90 days, and hauler manifests go to the District within five business days. Many Four Corners kitchens are in converted older buildings with limited space, so confirm lid access and parking for the truck before you book grease interceptor cleaning.
