Grease Trap Service Records — Fort Worth (Water Pretreatment)

What it is. Recurring cleaning of the grease trap/interceptor with retained manifests, under the Fort Worth Water Department Pretreatment program and your grease trap/interceptor discharge permit.

Who issues/enforces it. City of Fort Worth — Water Department, Pretreatment Services (City layer).

When you need it. Ongoing, per your discharge permit.

How to comply. Clean/maintain the trap on the schedule in your discharge permit — commonly the "90-day / 25% rule" standard used across Texas (clean at least every 90 days, sooner when solids/FOG reach 25% of capacity). Use a licensed hauler and keep manifests. Confirm your specific interval on the Fort Worth discharge permit (⟢ VERIFY).

Cadence. Per the discharge permit (commonly ≥ every 90 days / 25% rule; ⟢ 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.
