Grease traps and Buckeye Lake’s food service businesses
Buckeye Lake is a village of about 2,500 people built along the lake of the same name, with land in both Licking and Fairfield counties. Lakeside restaurants, bars and marinas give the village a summer pace that is very different from its winter one.
Sewer service here is provided by Licking County's Water and Wastewater department, which has an office on Walnut Road in Buckeye Lake. That means grease rules for village restaurants come from the county utility rather than from the village or from Columbus.
Seasonal swings matter most at the lake. A trap that coasts through the winter can fill in a few busy summer weekends, so book grease trap pumping before Memorial Day and check it again mid-season. Keep every manifest so you can show the county a steady service history.
Grease trap services in Buckeye Lake

Buckeye Lake grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Buckeye Lake is outside the Columbus sewer contract area. Sewer service comes from Licking County's Water and Wastewater department, which sets the local requirements for grease interceptors.
- Pumping interval
- Confirm the required pumping interval with the county utility before setting a schedule. Interceptor sizing here follows the Ohio Plumbing Code, and the provider can measure the tank to suggest a starting point.
- Fullness limit
- Many central Ohio sewer authorities, including Columbus and the Delaware County district, use 25 percent of the tank's depth as the point to clean. Ask the provider to measure grease and solids at every visit.
- Records
- Keep the service record and disposal manifest from every pumping for at least three years, so you can show a maintenance history if the county utility or a health inspector asks.
