Commercial Backflow & FOG Program

To maintain water quality and prevent plumbing disasters, CCUA enforces two key programs for commercial customers. These programs ensure that private business operations do not negatively impact the public water supply or sewer system.

Backflow Prevention Commercial properties must have approved backflow prevention assemblies to stop contaminated water from flowing back into the potable water system.

  • Requirement: Annual testing by a State-Certified Backflow Tester.
  • Reporting: Test results must be submitted to the CCUA Backflow Prevention Administrator.

Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Control Restaurants and food-service businesses are required to maintain grease traps or interceptors to prevent clogs and sewer overflows.

  • Requirement: Maintain regular cleaning schedules and keep maintenance logs.
  • Inspections: CCUA performs site inspections to ensure compliance.
