Raleigh NC solves the question of how to hook up a Disposal

If a person is stupid enough to put grease down a sink that has a garbage disposal, does the city think they will be smart enough not to put the same grease down the same sink, once the disposal is removed? :cool:
 
I will play the devils advocate on this for those who do not know what is going on with this city. Raleigh, which is the state capital, and the county which it is located has been one of the fastest growing areas in the country. NC has been under the worst drought in recorded history with the news reporting number of days left of water supply nightly.
My self having work in waste water knows the effect of having thousands of pounds of food and grease coming into a plant can do to the operation of a treatment plant and the problems it causes with the lines.
Now with that said, I think they have now created a new market for the handy man, installing replacement disposals and of course installing disposals and wiring in the new construction homes that are built with out them due to the new ruling. No permit, no tell, no problem
 
So does the law ban the EC from wiring for a disposal even if the disposal is not installed. We can always say it is for an instant hot water unit. :grin:
 
The issue with grease would be a problem along the complete path and I would think the chopped food would be a burden on the treatment plants and banning GD's MAY save waste processing dollars.

Being on a septic system I have not had a GD for 18 years and do not miss it...
 
i might as well move to north korea if it's going to come to the goverment telling what we can buy/have. like itshot says, "the toilet will next". i bet the washer and dryer is after the toilet, then the shower.
 
Curtis, I agree with you and this thread was not meant to make light of the decision even though I used it as a prop. I actually understand and even back the ban.

The Southeast has been hammered with rapid uncalculated growth, and this drastic growth calls for drastic measures

Roger, I did not think you were making light of the situation. My post was to merely let those on the forum, who are not familiar with the area, know what they are really facing.

They have been banned in suffolk county forever. I cant tell you how many I have seen go in because there isnt exactly a garbage disposal swat team running around checking sinks. Really how enforseable is this new ban.
 
When disposals are outlawed only outlaws will have disposals.


I learned YEARS ago not to intentionally put things in the disposal. If a little but of stuff gets thru the strainer I will chop it up and rinse it down but I never intentionally put anything in there. Some people throw EVERYTHING in there. I pulled out a trap for an old lady one time and it was packed FULL of carrots.




It seems stupid to put anything more solid than a turd down a drain.
