Miami & Miami-Dade County Consumer & Compliance Alert (Verified 2026-10-28)

MIAMI-DADE TIP: Residential irrigation PVBs on a 2-inch-or-smaller service only need a test every two years under County Code Sec. 32-163, not every year. Pick a tester from the official WASD certified tester list who enters your results in the Web Test portal, and expect to pay roughly $75–$125 for a residential test. Quotes of $300+ for a simple irrigation PVB test are well above local published prices.

Official Program Miami-Dade County Code Chapter 24 (Sec. 24-42.6 FOG Ordinance) — Grease Discharge Operating (GDO) Permits & Liquid Waste Transporter Program ↗
Mandatory Pumping Schedule Food service establishments that discharge FOG to the county sewer must hold an annual Grease Discharge Operating (GDO) permit from DERM. The pump-out frequency is set in each facility's permit, typically between 30 and 90 days. Many current permits require cleaning at least every 30 days, and facilities operating before the 2018 FOG Ordinance were assigned 90 days for gravity grease interceptors and 30 days for hydromechanical interceptors. Solids separators and sampling ports must be inspected daily.
Manifest & Hauler Rule Every pump-out must be performed by a DERM-permitted Liquid Waste Transporter (brown grease / ST waste class) and documented on a DERM-approved Septage & FOG eManifest. Check the county's official brown grease transporter list before hiring, keep manifests on file, and notify DERM within 24 hours if a FOG control device is breached or damaged.
Violation Fines DERM enforcement under Chapter 24 for missed pump-outs, unpermitted haulers, or sanitary sewer overflows, including mandatory replacement of breached concrete grease interceptors after DERM plan approval.

Miami & Miami-Dade County, FL Backflow & Grease Trap FAQs

Direct answers sourced from Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) — Cross-Connection Control Unit and Miami-Dade Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) — Fats, Oils & Grease (FOG) Program regulations.

How often does Miami-Dade require backflow testing?

Under Miami-Dade County Code Sec. 32-163, backflow preventers on non-residential or multi-family properties with service larger than 2 inches must be tested at least once a year, while residential properties with a service of 2 inches or less must be tested at least every two years. A certified tester enters results in WASD's Web Test portal. Questions go to the WASD Cross-Connection Control Unit at (305) 547-3046 or Backflow@miamidade.gov.

What happens if my backflow preventer fails in Miami-Dade?

The tester must give you and WASD a list of the defects within 5 days of the test. Repairs and a passing retest must then be completed within 35 days of WASD receiving the report.

Do Miami restaurants need a permit for their grease trap?

Yes. Food service establishments that discharge fats, oils, and grease to the county sewer need an annual Grease Discharge Operating (GDO) permit from Miami-Dade DERM. The permit sets your pump-out frequency (typically every 30 to 90 days), and every cleaning must be done by a DERM-permitted liquid waste transporter and documented on a DERM eManifest.
