Public Notice
Amendment of Sewer Regulations
On July 12, 2007 the Provincetown
Water and Sewer Board held a public hearing and voted to amend the second
paragraph of Section 7(C) the Sewer Rules and Regulations by adding a new
sentence immediately prior to the final sentence of said paragraph so that it
reads as follows:
All
Grease Traps shall be equipped with a monitoring device using ultrasonic
transducers and an embedded microprocessor to continuously sense the positions
of the floating solids, bottom solids and the liquid level within the grease
trap by January 1, 2005. This information is transmitted to a control
unit located within the building. The monitor’s control unit shall be
programmed to alert the owner when the grease level is less than or equal to
22% capacity so that pumping can be arranged prior to reaching 25%
capacity. The monitor shall also alert emergency conditions prior to tank
failure. Other types of monitors may be allowed upon approval
by the Water & Sewer Board.
Prior to the installation of the
required monitors, manual inspections will be conducted at least monthly.
This amendment is effective
as of July 12, 2007.
