Grease trap rules for Wesley Chapel kitchens
Wesley Chapel is unincorporated Pasco County, and its sewer is run by Pasco County Utilities, which operates the Wesley Center Wastewater Treatment Plant on Boyette Road. Food service facilities connected to the county system fall under Division 3 of the county's utilities chapter, the food service facility fats, oil and grease rules in Sec. 110-174. If your sewer bill doesn't come from Pasco County Utilities, check which provider's rules apply to you.
The county rule is 90 days or 20%, whichever comes first. Traps are cleaned and pumped at least every 90 days, and sooner once captured FOG and food sludge displace 20% of the volume. Pumping means emptying the unit completely and cleaning the side walls, cross pipes, and inlet and outlet pipes. Every trap is opened, inspected and maintained at least monthly, and under-sink units are cleaned at least weekly. Records of every cleaning, repair and disposal must show the date, time and amount pumped, be signed by the owner or manager, and be kept for three years.
Much of Wesley Chapel's restaurant base is new construction along SR-54 and SR-56, around the Shops at Wiregrass and Tampa Premium Outlets. New interceptors are sized to the plumbing code for the opening menu and seating. As a restaurant gets busier, the 20% line arrives sooner than the 90-day calendar, so measuring at each visit matters more here than elsewhere. Crews reach the area on I-75, I-275 and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard.
