Grease Interceptor — Clark County Water Reclamation District (CCWRD)
Las Vegas-area restaurants must install a compliant grease interceptor and obtain a pretreatment permit from the Clark County Water Reclamation District.
What it is. A properly sized grease interceptor plus a pretreatment (FOG) permit to keep fats, oils, and grease out of the sewer, required by the Clark County Water Reclamation District (CCWRD) Pretreatment Program. The program reviews pretreatment designs, issues permits, and inspects facilities. (Note: City of Las Vegas sewer customers may be served by the City's sewer utility — confirm your sewer provider.)
Who issues/enforces it. Clark County Water Reclamation District (CCWRD) — Pretreatment Program (Regional/county layer).
When you need it. Any restaurant discharging FOG; the interceptor is sized/installed during build-out with design review by CCWRD.
How to comply. Install a compliant interceptor per the plumbing code (Clark County Plumbing Code Ch. 10) and obtain the CCWRD pretreatment permit.
Fees. Per CCWRD (recent rules added plan-review and inspection fees; the annual FOG interceptor inspection fee increased from $100 to $125, phased over two years) — see source (⟢ VERIFY).
What SpoonSeal tracks. The document(s) you upload for this requirement, with automatic renewal/expiration tracking (Current, Due Soon, Expired). Where the city publishes health-inspection results (e.g., NYC and Chicago), SpoonSeal syncs them automatically; elsewhere they can be added manually.
