Grease traps and Grandview Heights’s food service businesses
Grandview Heights fits a lot of dining into a small city just west of downtown Columbus and close to the Ohio State campus. Grandview Avenue is the long-standing main street, and Grandview Yard, an 80-acre mixed-use district that Nationwide Realty Investors announced in 2008, added offices, apartments and a new cluster of restaurants.
The city was split off from Marble Cliff in 1902, and the older storefronts on Grandview Avenue show that age, with tight kitchens and small indoor traps that need frequent grease trap cleaning. Restaurants in Grandview Yard are in newer buildings with in-ground interceptors serviced from the parking areas.
Grandview Heights contracts with Columbus for sewer service, so the Columbus FOG Reduction Program applies here. Ohio State game days and weekend brunch crowds can push volume up quickly, so have the provider measure grease and solids at each visit and shorten the schedule if the tank is close to the 25 percent mark.
Grease trap services in Grandview Heights

Grandview Heights grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Grandview Heights contracts with Columbus for sewer service, so the Columbus FOG Reduction Program, run by Columbus Water & Power, applies.
- Pumping interval
- Columbus does not set one interval for every kitchen. Cleaning should follow the manufacturer's instructions and how fast grease builds up, and new or remodeled kitchens need interceptors designed to go no more than 30 days between services for concrete units, or 90 days for units made of materials that resist degradation.
- Fullness limit
- The city recommends cleaning when an interceptor nears 25 percent of its capacity, before it goes past that point. Every cleaning must remove the entire contents.
- Records
- Keep a written FOG Best Management Plan and a cleaning log for each interceptor on site, for at least three years. The hauler must record the date, the grease and solids removed and the condition after every cleaning.
