Grease traps and local food service businesses
Lewis Center addresses in Orange Township get sewer service from the Delaware County Regional Sewer District, so district rules, not Columbus rules, apply to local kitchens.
The district sets a maximum time between pump-outs and a deadline for sending in the paperwork after each cleaning. A standing schedule with your provider is the easiest way to stay inside both, and keeping manifests, receipts and invoices together makes the paperwork quick.

Common grease trap questions
How often do Lewis Center restaurants need grease trap pumping?
It depends on trap size, menu and volume, along with local requirements. District rules require every food service grease interceptor to be fully pumped and cleaned at least every 90 days, unless the District approves a waiver in writing. A provider can measure your trap and suggest a schedule.
Do providers serving Lewis Center handle in-ground interceptors?
Many do. Tell the provider whether you have an indoor trap or an outdoor interceptor, and its size if you know it, so they can confirm they have the right equipment. Call to check availability.
