Leftovers from restaurants littered

A stench emanated from street drainage wells. During an inspection at the Gaozhen Commercial Center, members of the Mobile Squadron of the Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau discovered that a barbecue restaurant had left barbecue dishes outside. For diners to choose from, the drainage manhole cover two to three meters away was piled with food, with sticky yellow-black sewage flowing around it. A dozen meters away from it, another drainage well was also full of leftovers. From time to time, surrounding businesses poured oil directly into the drainage well. The rainwater wells originally used for rainwater drainage were "mercilessly" occupied by oil pollution, causing pipes to become clogged and causing stench. What's even more frightening is that the oil pollution is discharged directly into the Yongkang River along with the rainwater without dilution. The inspection on the pedestrian street is even more worrying. In a food alley more than 100 meters long, there are more than a dozen small restaurants on both sides. At the entrance of a Malatang snack bar, a water well is completely covered with swill, and there is oily vegetable soup and leftover rice, which makes people feel nauseated. . When the law enforcement team members demonstrated their enforcement to restaurant owners, almost all of them had never heard of the need to apply for a "drainage permit." One of the owners even said, "We have already discharged the sewage into the sewer pipes, so it's not It fell directly on the road. Aren't the sewer pipes used for drainage?" The investigation found that currently less than 5 restaurants have "drainage permits". So, can you drain water casually after obtaining a drainage certificate? Of course not. Restaurants must have strict requirements when applying for a drainage certificate. The most important thing is that the discharged water must be qualified and drained into the prescribed pipes. The author learned that there are 4 requirements for the "Urban Drainage Permit". First, it is necessary to ensure that the sewage outlet of the restaurant is set up in compliance with the regulations and cannot discharge sewage into the rainwater pipe; second, the restaurant must be equipped with sewage pre-treatment facilities that meet the requirements and operate normally according to its own scale, including sedimentation tanks, grease traps, etc. ; Third, there must be a detection sampling port downstream of the pretreatment facility to facilitate sampling and inspection by monitoring personnel; fourth, the treated sewage must also meet the "Water Quality Standard for Sewage Discharge into Urban Sewers" after inspection. Legal restaurants that have passed all four of the above inspections can apply for a "drainage permit" at the Construction Bureau window of the 365 Administrative Service Center.

Inspection and supervision throughout the city

Failure to apply for a permit will be severely dealt with. The squadron leader of the mobile squadron of the Urban Management and Law Enforcement Bureau said that in the early stage, the squadron had carried out sewage supervision of restaurants in the city and required restaurants to install them in time. Oil-water separation tanks have been installed in 147 restaurants according to regulations. Regarding the sewage discharge problem of small restaurants, the direct law enforcement brigade arranges dedicated personnel to conduct daily inspections. If it is found that the restaurant does not apply for a "drainage permit", the law enforcement officers will order it to obtain a new certificate within 15 days and take control measures. If the company fails to make rectifications or fails to apply for a "drainage permit" after rectifications, the Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau will investigate the case and impose penalties in accordance with relevant regulations. So far, the Yongkang Urban Management and Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau has inspected 69 restaurants in the city, issued 65 "Notices for Rectification within a Time Limit", and filed a case and investigated one catering business owner in accordance with the law.
