Kingdom City Interceptors ordinance (§ 700.660)
Chapter 700: Water Regulations · Article VIII. Sewer And Wastewater
In short: Restaurants, hotel kitchens, bars serving food, cafeterias, clubs and other commercial kitchens must install a grease trap on fixture waste lines. The Village can also require grease, oil or sand interceptors elsewhere, but never for homes. Interceptors must be Village-approved and easy to reach for cleaning.
