Grease traps and Urbancrest’s food service businesses
Urbancrest is a village of about 1,000 people on the southwest side, bordered by Grove City and Columbus. It was first settled in 1889, incorporated in 1948, and in 1971 elected Ellen Walker Craig-Jones, described as the first African-American woman elected mayor in the United States.
Urbancrest is mostly residential, so commercial kitchens are few. Church halls and event spaces that cook for large gatherings can still put a lot of grease down the drain in a single day, and a small indoor trap serving them may need grease trap pumping more often than the calendar suggests.
Urbancrest contracts with Columbus for sewer service, so the Columbus FOG Reduction Program applies, and restaurants just over the line in Grove City follow the same rules. Log each cleaning with the hauler's details so the record is ready if the city asks to see it.
Grease trap services in Urbancrest

Urbancrest grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Urbancrest 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.
