Hey guys,
We're in San Antonio, and have been working hard with the city to get our building permits through. The plumbing portion was actually approved nearly three weeks ago and then magically the approval was taken back (which our contractor/architect/engineer/pretty much everyone didn't know was possible).
They initally made it sound like someone had reached out directly to them concerned about a sewer waste issue in breweries - so we supplied a letter stating our procedures proving we would not be dumping any harmful or solid substances down the drain. They seem to keep referencing major factories and believe it or not a "gummy bear factory" in their concerns, but we're a small 7 BBL brewery with minimal waste.
Noone at the city seems to be able to give us any sort of direction. The fact of the matter is we're willing to spend the extra $ do whatever is necessary (solid interceptor, sample well etc.) but they can't seem to give us any direction on what they're looking for.
Has anyone in SA or anywhere else encountered similar issues, and if so what was the best way to get it all resolved.
We've tried to be as polite and understanding as possible, but it's becoming a little ridiculous going 2 weeks with out any actionable directive.
