Grease traps and Shawnee Hills’s food service businesses
Shawnee Hills is a small village of about 835 people on the west side of O'Shaughnessy Reservoir, in Delaware County's Concord Township. It is mainly residential, and the food businesses nearby serve residents and visitors heading to the reservoir.
Although it sits in Delaware County, Shawnee Hills is on the Columbus list of contract sewer communities, unlike Powell and the townships to its east, which are served by the Delaware County Regional Sewer District. That makes it worth checking which system serves a particular address before assuming a rule applies.
Under the Columbus FOG Reduction Program, Shawnee Hills kitchens keep a written grease plan and a cleaning log for each interceptor, held for at least three years. If summer weekends by the water are your busiest stretch, grease trap pumping in late spring helps a small trap get through the season.
Grease trap services in Shawnee Hills
Providers serving Shawnee Hills handle grease trap pumping for indoor traps, deeper grease trap cleaning when buildup returns, and grease interceptor pumping and grease interceptor cleaning for in-ground tanks. Describe your setup when you call and the provider can recommend the right service.
Shawnee Hills grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Shawnee Hills contracts with Columbus for sewer service, so the Columbus FOG Reduction Program, run by Columbus Water & Power, applies.
- Pumping interval
- Columbus does not set one interval for every kitchen. Cleaning should follow the manufacturer's instructions and how fast grease builds up, and new or remodeled kitchens need interceptors designed to go no more than 30 days between services for concrete units, or 90 days for units made of materials that resist degradation.
- Fullness limit
- The city recommends cleaning when an interceptor nears 25 percent of its capacity, before it goes past that point. Every cleaning must remove the entire contents.
- Records
- Keep a written FOG Best Management Plan and a cleaning log for each interceptor on site, for at least three years. The hauler must record the date, the grease and solids removed and the condition after every cleaning.
