Grease traps and Plain City’s food service businesses
Plain City is a village on the line between Madison and Union counties, surrounded by farmland and an Amish and Mennonite community. Its best-known restaurant is Der Dutchman, a large Amish-style restaurant and bakery that draws diners from across central Ohio.
Big-volume kitchens like that produce a lot of grease, and buffet-style or bakery cooking usually needs an outdoor interceptor sized well above a typical cafe. Smaller kitchens in the village center more often rely on indoor traps and regular grease trap pumping.
Plain City runs its own wastewater treatment plant, and the Ohio EPA has approved upgrades that raise its capacity from 750,000 to 1.25 million gallons per day, so grease rules here come from the village. Keep every hauler manifest on file and set your schedule from what the provider measures in the tank.

Plain City grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Plain City is outside the Columbus sewer contract area. Sewer service comes from the Village of Plain City, which runs its own wastewater treatment plant, which sets the local requirements for grease interceptors.
- Pumping interval
- Confirm the required pumping interval with the village before setting a schedule. Interceptor sizing here follows the Ohio Plumbing Code, and the provider can measure the tank to suggest a starting point.
- Fullness limit
- Many central Ohio sewer authorities, including Columbus and the Delaware County district, use 25 percent of the tank's depth as the point to clean. Ask the provider to measure grease and solids at every visit.
- Records
- Keep the service record and disposal manifest from every pumping for at least three years, so you can show a maintenance history if the village or a health inspector asks.
