1. An oil and grit separator system comprising:
a manhole bin having an entry line configured to receive water having oil and sediments and an output line configured to allow water free of oil and sediments to exit the system;
a flow divider plate configured to direct the water into at least one centrifuge plate, wherein the at least one centrifuge plate is configured to direct the water into at least one funnel configured to induce the contaminated water to vortex to separate the sediments from the water;
a sediment vault configured to hold the water and separated sediments; and,
an oil storage area positioned in the sediment vault, wherein the oil storage area is confined by an angular plate having a retaining flap downwardly extending from angular plate providing a trap for the oil and an exit for the water, wherein the exit is in communication with the output line.
