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.
