"Accessible effective water surface" is here understood to paean a surface which is easily accessible for cleaning and which at the same time will retain oil floating on the surface of water passing through the trap under conditions of use. If the vehicle servicing facility has facilities for washing or otherwise cleaning more than one vehicle at a time, the interceptor' shall have an operat- ing fluid capacity of at last 12 cubic feet and an accessible effective water surface of at feast 6 square feet , and shall be as much larger than this as is necessary so that seven- day accumulation of sand and oil will not together :fill; more than `/ of the fluid capacity.

Thereafter, the provisions of § 83903 shall apply 83905 . The Public Works Director shall; maintain a file, available for public use, of suitable designs of sand-ad-oil interceptors.. This shall be for informational, purposes. By maintaining such a file the City of Redlands is in no stay endorsing any design therein, and is making no representation of adequacy in specific service. The owner or proprietor must keep sand and oil out of the public sewer.. If his interceptor is not adequate under the conditions of use, he shall construct one which is effective in accomplishing the intended purpose. 83906 . The plumbing official shall not approve the plumbing of a vehicle servicing or repairing facility if it does not have a sand-and- oil interceptor meeting the requirements of this Ordinance. 83907 . The sand-and-oil intercepter of a: vehicle servicing facility shall be properly maintained. It shall be cleaned as often ,as is necessary to assure that sand and oil do not accumulate to impair the efficiency of the interceptor. When an interceptor is cleaned, the accumu- lated sediment and floating material shall be removed and legally disposed of otherwise than to a public sewer. An interceptor is not considered to be properly maintained i for any reason it is not in good working condition. It i not considered to be properly maintained if sand and all accumulations total more than % of the operating fluid capacity. The owner of any vehicle servicing facility, the lessee and sub -lessee if there be such., and any proprietor, operator or superintendent of ;such facility are individually and severally liable for any failure of proper maintenance of such interceptor. 83908 . It is unlawful to install , replace or enlarge apparatus for softening all: or any part of the water supply to any premise when such apparatus is an ion- echange softener or demineralier of the type that is re- generated on the site of use, The owner of an existing water softening or conditioning apparatus may continue to operate said apparatus after the owner registers and certi- fies the apparatus with the City pursuant to the require- ments ents set forth inHealt & Safety Code. The certification: shall include the f _H`owing information, (a) Name and address of homeowner. (b) The equipment manufacturer.
