Portland Consumer & Compliance Alert (Verified 2026-10-28)

PORTLAND BARCODE STICKER & RESIDENTIAL RATE TIP: When the Portland Water Bureau mails your annual reminder letter, save the enclosed barcode sticker labels! Giving those stickers (or the serial/location numbers on them) to an independent OHA-certified BAT tester speeds up processing at backflow@portlandoregon.gov and gets your residential irrigation test done for $55–$90 (often with a $10/yr Auto-Annual discount)—compared to $350+ charged by large commercial plumbing shops.

Portland, OR Backflow & Grease Trap FAQs

Direct answers sourced from Portland Water Bureau — Backflow Prevention & Cross-Connection Control and City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) — Cut Through the FOG Program regulations.

How do I submit my annual backflow test report to the Portland Water Bureau?

Your Oregon Health Authority (OHA) state-certified backflow assembly tester submits the completed PDF test report within 10 business days of the test by emailing backflow@portlandoregon.gov (or mailing to 664 N Tillamook St, B320, Portland, OR 97227). Give your tester the barcode sticker labels from your Portland Water Bureau reminder letter to speed up processing.

What is Portland's Regional Preferred Pumper Program for restaurant grease traps?

Under Portland City Code 17.34 and Administrative Rule ENB-4.26 (Cut Through the FOG), food service establishments must file a cleaning report with the Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) after every grease trap or gravity interceptor pump-out. When you hire a company on the official Regional Preferred Pumper list (preferredpumper.org), they follow vetted regional cleaning standards and submit the required post-cleaning report to the City of Portland on your behalf.

Are enzyme or bacterial grease trap treatments legal in Portland, OR?

No. Portland City Code 17.34 and Administrative Rule ENB-4.26 strictly prohibit adding chemical emulsifiers, enzymes, or bacterial additives to any grease interceptor because they allow liquefied FOG to pass through the trap and solidify inside City sewer mains. Using additives also disqualifies your restaurant from receiving Extra Strength Charge sewer rate reductions under ENB-4.25.
