The City of Lubbock sets maintenance requirements for grease interceptors, which separate fats, oils, grease, and solids from wastewater before it reaches the sanitary sewer. Here’s a plain-language summary.
How often must grease interceptors be pumped in Lubbock?
Interceptors must be pumped and cleaned at least every 90 days. Kitchens with heavy grease output may need service more often to keep the interceptor working properly.
What records do you need to keep?
Keep a copy of the waste hauler’s trip ticket for every pump-out on site for three years.
Planning your service schedule
A 90-day minimum means at least four pump-outs a year. A recurring service agreement makes it easier to stay on schedule and keep your trip tickets organized.
