As you may know, in the past, the use of garbage disposal units has not been permitted. Enclosed, you will find a copy of the ordinance as well as a set of administrative regulations covering the installation and use of garbage grinders. Please note that it is necessary to obtain permits before any such device may be installed. If you wish to place a garbage disposal unit in an eating establishment, please contact the Health Department for recom- mended installation practices that will help you gain maximum benefits from your unit. If you have any questions concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to call on us for whatever help we may be able to offer. Very sincerely, C. E. Nemethi, M.D. Health Officer C I T Y o F VERNON ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS Pertaining to the Use of Garbage Grinder Units A. Garbage Grinder Units (1) Garbage discharged from any garbage grinder unit must conform to the following requirements for fineness of grinding: At least 40% by weight shall pass a No.8 sieve; at least 65% by weight shall pass a No.3 sieve; at least 100% by weight shall pass a ~-inch screen. (Sieves shall be United States Standard, and weights shall be based upon a wet drain condition.) (2) Garbage grinder units must be tested and certified as to compliance with the above standards by a recognized competent testing laboratory acceptable to the City Engineering Department. This department will accept the list of approved garbage grinders published by the City of Los Angeles Board of Public Works. B. Permits Before installation of any garbage grinder units, the following permits must be obtained: (1) A pluInbing permit from the City Building Inspector must be secured for any garbage grinder installation. (2) A sewer connection or additional facility permit from the City Engineering Department must also be secured for any commercial garbage grinder installation. C. Installation and Operation The following conditions are required for all garbage grinder installations: (1) The original manufacturer's name and model number must be available for inspection at aLl times, regardless of what trade name, label or decal is attached. (2) An interlocking water switch must be installed on all commercial installations in a manner suitable to the City Building Inspector. (3) No potable water piping may be connected directly to the garbage grinder unit under any circumstances. For commercial instal- lations requiring an interlocking water switclt, the water supply inlet should be at least one inch above the flood-level rim of -2- C. (3) (cont'd) the installation. Where this is not practical, as in restaurant pre-rinse/garbage grinder combinations, water inlets may be installed below the flood-level rim, provided that such inlets are protected by an approved vacuum breaker with the critical level not less than six inches above the flood-level rim of the installation. (4) Garbage grinder installations will not be permitted when, in the opinion of the City Engineer, such installations will introduce interference or obstructions into the City sewer. In no case will garbage grinders be permitted to discharge into sewers which, in the opinion of the City Engineer, are currently operating at peak capacities. (5) The amount of garbage discharged from grinder units being tested or demonstrated by the manufacturer of such units shall not exceed 200 pounds per day total for the entire establishment. When specifically approved by the Engineering Department, amounts in excess of the above figure may be discharged for the purpose of conducting special or unusual tests. Approval for such special tests will be subject to flow conditicas or available capacities of the particular sewer in question at the proposed time of the test. 6-28-56 City of Vernon Health Department GARBAGE GRINDER INSTALLATION FOR EATING ESTABLISHMENTS Pre-Rinse '__ ... r.~J;t~ Spray ---\.. ,f)i "r~) . .

Water Inlet 1""-1 ,.j Q The diag~am above depicts a typical garbage grinder installation, combined with a pre-rinse spray, placed in the soil~d dish table for an efficent dishwashing operation. Minor variationS in this design may be permitted when n~cessitated by individual problems. Please note the following points: 1. An interlocking wate~ switch must be provided. This device automatically provides water for flushing whenever the garbage grinder is turned on. 2. A vacuum breaker must be installed on the water flushing line at least six inches above the over-flow rim of the unit. This prevents any possible back-flow of contaminated water into the water system of the establishment. 3. The pre-rinse spray is recommended as an easy, efficient means of scrapping utensils and for aiding in soil removal during the subsequent washing operation. 4. The soiled dish table must be sloped to drain into the garbage grinder unit, or must be provided with a trough-type table drain, in order to prevent excessive drainage of soiled water into the dishwashing machine or sink. 5. PERMITS MUST BE OBTAINED from the City Engineering Department and from the City Building Inspector for all garbage grinder installations in eating establishments. Please contact the Health Department prior to installing any garbage grinder unit. We will be glad to assist you in planning your installation.
