Grease traps and Marble Cliff’s food service businesses
Marble Cliff is one of the smallest villages in Franklin County, a little over a quarter of a square mile bordered by Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights and Columbus. It takes its name from the Marble Cliff Quarry Co., which still operates, and it was once far larger before land was split off in 1902 to form Grandview Heights.
With about 630 residents and very little commercial land, Marble Cliff has few food service sites, and those that operate here tend to be smaller kitchens with compact indoor traps. Small traps fill faster than most owners expect and do best with grease trap pumping on a fixed schedule.
Marble Cliff is on the Columbus list of contract sewer communities, so the Columbus FOG Reduction Program applies, including the cleaning log and the three-year record rule. Businesses just across the line in Grandview Heights, Upper Arlington and Columbus follow the same program, which keeps paperwork consistent for owners with more than one site nearby.

Marble Cliff grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Marble Cliff 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.

Marble Cliff grease trap questions
How often do Marble Cliff restaurants need grease trap pumping?
It depends on trap size, menu and volume, along with local requirements. 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. A provider can measure your trap and suggest a schedule.
Do providers serving Marble Cliff handle in-ground interceptors?
Many do. Tell the provider whether you have an indoor trap or an outdoor interceptor, and its size if you know it, so they can confirm they have the right equipment. Call to check availability.
