Broward County Water and Wastewater Services, Industrial Pretreatment Program

Industrial Pretreatment / Fats-Oils-Grease (FOG) Discharge Compliance

A food-service facility with a grease interceptor or trap — a restaurant, coffee shop, or a food truck's fixed commissary kitchen — is subject to inspection and discharge standards under Broward's Industrial Pretreatment Program only where Broward County Water and Wastewater Services is the actual sewer utility serving that address. This is a limited-scope requirement, not a countywide one: several of Broward's largest cities, including Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach and Sunrise, run their own municipal utilities with their own FOG rules instead, and the exact boundary of Broward's own service area should be confirmed with Broward County Water and Wastewater Services. A business should confirm which utility serves its actual address before assuming either this county program or a city's own program applies. Contact Broward County Water and Wastewater Services for any permit or inspection fee under this program.
