Legal Documents of Dandridge

The equipment or facilities installed to control FOG, food waste, sand and soil, must be designed in accordance with Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation engineering standards or applicable town guidelines. Underground equipment shall be tightly sealed to prevent inflow of rainwater and easily accessible to allow regular maintenance. Control equipment shall be maintained by the owner or operator of the facility so as to prevent a stoppage of the public sewer, and the accumulation of FOG in the lines, pump stations and treatment plant. If the town is required to clean out the public sewer lines as a result of a stoppage resulting from poorly maintained control equipment, or lack there of, the owner or operator shall be required to refund the labor, equipment, materials and overhead costs to the town. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit or restrict any other remedy the town has under this chapter, or state or federal law.

The town retains the right to inspect and approve installation of the control equipment. (Ord. #06/07-24, April 2007)
