SECTION 35:37-9-45. Drainage and plumbing  


Latest version.
  •   There shall be an efficient drainage and plumbing system for the plant and premises.
    (1)   Drains and gutters. All drains and gutters shall be properly installed with approved traps, covers and vents. The drainage and plumbing system must permit the quick runoff of all water from plant buildings, and surface water around the plant and on the premises, and all the water shall be disposed of in a manner as to prevent a nuisance or health hazard.
    (2)   Sewage and plant wastes. The sewerage system shall have adequate slope and capacity to remove readily all waste from the various processing operations and to minimize, and if possible to prevent, stoppage and surcharging of the system.
    (A)   Grease traps that are connected with the sewerage system shall be suitably located but not near any edible products department or in any area where products are unloaded from or loaded into vehicles. To facilitate cleaning, the traps shall have inclined bottoms and be provided with suitable covers. Grease traps must be located outside of the official premise building.
    (B)   Toilet soil lines shall be separate from house drainage lines to a point outside the buildings unless they are positively trapped to prevent backing up. Drainage from toilet bowls and urinals shall not be discharged into a grease catch basin.
    (C)   All floor drains shall be equipped with traps, constructed to minimize clogging, and the plumbing shall be installed as to prevent sewerage from backing up and from flooding the floor.
    (D)   Floor drainage lines should be of acceptable material and at least 4 inches in diameter and open into main drains of at least 6 inches in diameter and shall be properly vented to outside air.
    (E)   Where refrigerators are equipped with drains, the drains should be properly trapped and should discharge through an air gap into the sewer system. All new installations, and all replacements, or refrigerators equipped with drains shall meet these requirements.
