Grease traps and West Jefferson’s food service businesses
West Jefferson is a Madison County village of about 4,100 people on US 40, the old National Road. Isaac Jones founded it as New Hampton, the village was established in 1834, and an 1872 village seal showed a covered bridge on the National Road.
The village runs its own water plant and a wastewater treatment plant behind the Community Center at the end of Sewer Lane, with the utility office in historic Village Hall. Grease rules for restaurants here come from the village rather than Columbus.
Restaurants along US 40 are mostly small kitchens in older buildings, with indoor traps that need regular grease trap pumping. Larger sites closer to I-70 are more likely to have outdoor interceptors serviced by vacuum truck.

West Jefferson grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- West Jefferson is outside the Columbus sewer contract area. Sewer service comes from the Village of West Jefferson, which runs its own wastewater treatment plant, which sets the local requirements for grease interceptors.
- Pumping interval
- Confirm the required pumping interval with the village 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 village or a health inspector asks.
