Grease traps and Mount Sterling’s food service businesses
Mount Sterling is a Madison County village of about 1,900 people, laid out in the late 1820s by John J. Smith and named after his hometown of Mount Sterling, Kentucky. It was incorporated in 1845.
The village operates its own water and sewer system, so grease rules for local food businesses come from Mount Sterling. Kitchens here are mostly small, with indoor traps rather than large outdoor tanks.
Small traps fill quickly once solids settle, so ask for the full contents to be removed at every visit and keep the service record. If you run a seasonal or event kitchen, book grease trap pumping right after your busiest stretch.
