Town cracks down on grease mismanagement
PROVINCETOWN – A refusal by some food service operations in town to comply with state laws regulating grease disposal has resulted in damage to the municipal sewer treatment plant. As a result, the Provincetown Licensing Board on Tuesday unanimously approved new regulations giving stricter enforcement powers to the health department.
Starting immediately, any restaurant, take-out or retail food outlet will be required to show proof they have properly pumped out their grease traps before having their license renewed next year. In addition, all food service business owners must take a class offered by the health department as part of the license renewal requirements. See the entire story and those listed below in this week’s Banner.
