Grease traps and Sunbury’s food service businesses
Sunbury became a city in 2021 and is one of the faster-growing places in Delaware County. The old town square is its traditional center, and Tanger Outlets, off I-71 at exit 131 where US 36 and State Route 37 meet, brings regional shoppers and chain restaurants to the edge of town.
The city owns and runs its own wastewater treatment plant, permitted for 1.125 million gallons per day and being expanded to 2 million, with construction scheduled through December 2027. Growth on that scale usually means new restaurant buildings, which are typically built with outdoor interceptors that need regular grease interceptor pumping.
Sunbury's grease rules come from the city, not from Columbus or the county sewer district. Restaurants around the square tend to be in older buildings with indoor traps, so if your kitchen is one of them, plan on more frequent service and keep every hauler's report on file.

Sunbury grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Sunbury is outside the Columbus sewer contract area. Sewer service comes from the City of Sunbury, which owns and operates the local wastewater treatment plant, 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.
