Preventing Grease Trap Issues

The City of Lake View mandates that indoor grease traps be cleaned every month and outdoor traps every 3 months. Grease interceptors must be serviced by CLTWater-approved companies to prevent issues like clogs. We suggest that restaurants maintain on-site records for up to 3 years as required by local regulations.

Grease Trap Care Tips

• Post “No Grease” signs above sinks and ensure staff are properly trained.
• Dispose of food waste by composting or recycling.
• Recycle waste cooking oil to reduce environmental impact.
• Never pour grease down the sinks and minimize the use of garbage disposals.

Common Questions

What is a grease trap?

Grease traps and interceptors prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) and food solids from entering the sewer system. They are designed to allow uncontaminated water to exit while removing FOG and food waste.

Why do I need a grease trap?

Grease traps are enforced by local municipalities for all commercial food establishments that release grease or oil into the sewer system. They safeguard your sewer lines and prevent blockages, allowing you to operate without worry.

How often should you clean your grease trap?

The City of Lake View requires that indoor traps be cleaned every 30 days and outdoor traps every quarterly. As a general rule, grease traps should be emptied when a quarter of the trap’s capacity is filled with FOGS. If you notice foul odors or drain backup, it may be time for a cleaning.
