HRSD Small Communities

• Food-service establishments need two trained employees and must use a certified grease hauler with appropriate disposal. Self-cleaning is prohibited unless HRSD approves it for a specific high-gravity interceptor.
• Pumping frequency is based on meals served, menu, and device capacity; variance requests are possible.
• HRSD has enforcement actions for violations. Outside the HRSD service area, the local health department and utility govern requirements.
