What it is. Recurring cleaning of the grease interceptor with retained manifests, under PWSA/ALCOSAN requirements.
Who issues/enforces it. Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) / ALCOSAN (City / regional layer).
When you need it. Ongoing. Clean when the interceptor reaches 25% capacity ("25% rule"); high-volume kitchens typically clean every 1–3 months.
How to comply. Use a licensed hauler; keep a waste manifest documenting proper FOG disposal after each pump-out.
