Title
Resolution Approving Changes to the Town of Castle Rock Grease Interceptor Assistance Program [Town-wide Program]
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The purpose of this memorandum is to request Council approval of a Resolution (Attachment A) to approve the revised Grease Interceptor Assistance Program offered by Castle Rock Water. Section 13.04 of the Town of Castle Rock Municipal Code requires all connectors to the sewer system to comply with the Code of Rules and Regulations of the Plum Creek Water Reclamation Authority (PCWRA). Grease interceptors are required under PCWRA’s rules. The cost to retrofit existing businesses in older buildings with grease interceptors can be costly, placing a burden on small businesses. To this end, in 2021, Castle Rock Water staff developed an assistance program to help mitigate the costs of retrofitting an existing building with a grease interceptor. Castle Rock Water staff is proposing to revise the assistance program to increase the funds available to Castle Rock businesses with total grant opportunities from $7,500 to $15,000 per location and an additional 5-year loan option per location from $7,500 to $20,000 per customer. The total annual budget for this program is proposed to go from $40,000 to $60,000.
