2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 22-199. Pasteurization plants; construction.

      Sec. 22-199. Pasteurization plants; construction. All pasteurization plants shall be constructed so that all rooms in which milk is handled or in which milk apparatus and milk utensils are washed shall have dust-proof walls and ceilings. Unless constructed of concrete, smooth brick or tile, walls and ceilings shall be kept sufficiently painted a light color. The floors shall be watertight and so graded that all drainage will flow to one or more points of drainage. All drains in pasteurization plants shall be trapped and drained to the approval of the commissioner. When not discharged into city sewers, drainage shall be drained into cesspools or septic tanks at least fifty feet from the building. All rooms in which milk is handled and in which milk apparatus and utensils are washed shall be lighted and ventilated to the approval of the commissioner. Doors, windows and ventilators shall be screened from May first to November first. Screen doors shall be provided with self-closing devices, and all screens shall be maintained in good working condition, unless some other method of insect control is effectively maintained. All pasteurizing plants receiving milk or cream or milk products in bulk or in tanks shall provide a loading and unloading shed or room for such operations, including suitable equipment and facilities, all having the approval of the commissioner.
