Mechanically operated grinder or disposers for producing ground garbage are permitted in commercial establishments. Every such grinder or disposer shall be so designed and installed:

1. That it shall use a wet process pulping system, including a pulper and a de-watering press, or other devices, which discharge at least seventy-five percent of the volume of pulp or solid wastes run through it into a garbage can or other container for transport to a proper and lawful garbage or waste disposal site approved by the Utah State Department of Health;

2. That it shall utilize a closed loop or other design which provides for a minimum for eighty-five percent use of circulated water;

3. That the fluid discharged therefrom into the sewer shall flow readily through an approved trap or interceptor drain line or soil line in a manner which prevents clogging or stoppage of the drain line;

4. That the entire installation shall comply in all particulars with the applicable provisions of state and local plumbing and electrical codes;

5. That said grinders will be operated with only cold water flowing into the grinder while connected to the city sewer. The final decision regarding sufficiency of grinder installation for the foregoing requirements rest solely with the POTW manager. (Ord. 121 §26(c), amended, 1985)
