FOG / Grease Interceptor Service Records — Sacramento
Sacramento restaurants must clean grease interceptors under the 25% rule and keep maintenance records for inspection.
What it is. Recurring cleaning/pump-out of the grease interceptor with retained records, under the City/Regional San FOG program.
Who issues/enforces it. City of Sacramento — Department of Utilities (City layer).
When you need it. Ongoing. Under the "25% rule," pump when the combined FOG + sludge reaches 25% of the total liquid depth; many facilities service quarterly.
How to comply. Use a licensed hauler; keep dated service records on site for inspection.
Cadence. Per the 25% rule — commonly quarterly (⟢ VERIFY the minimum set for your facility).
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.
