Gray Water Disposal

Gray water (water from washing hands, utensils, tables and floor mops) needs to be disposed of in the sanitary sewer. An indoor sink will be sufficient.

Outside Cleaning

All discharges generated from outside washing are considered liquid wastes. All water or wastewater discharges from any washing activities must be collected for disposal into the sanitary sewer system. Failure to dispose of liquid wastes in a correct manner may result in a citation and a fine. 

  • One way to keep the wash water from entering the storm drainage system is to place a temporary dam at a low point on the property.
      
  • The accumulated waste can be collected at the low point and disposed of in the  sanitary sewer.

Spill Clean Up

Spillage of drinks, food, and any other material on a paved area must be cleaned. Liquid spills can be clean by using absorbent materials such as paper towels or mops (see gray water). Food or other solid materials may be swept up and placed in the trash. 

Trash

Trash needs to be picked up periodically and placed in a trash container. Trash should not be allowed to blow away.
