Reno & Sparks, NV Backflow & Grease Trap FAQs

Direct answers sourced from Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) and City of Reno & City of Sparks Environmental Control regulations.

Why did a fire protection company quote me $600 to test my residential fire sprinkler backflow in Reno?

Many commercial fire sprinkler contractors in Reno set a $450–$600 minimum dispatch fee to discourage homeowners from booking single-valve residential tests. Under TMWA rules, any tester on the Official TMWA Approved Backflow Testers list can test your residential fire line or irrigation backflow assembly—and independent specialists like B&L Backflow or Alpine Backflow typically charge $60–$95 and submit the result online.

How do backflow test results get submitted to Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA)?

Approved testers submit results electronically through the TMWA Online Backflow Test Portal (backflow.tmwa.com) using their registered tester number and calibrated gauge serial number. Always confirm your tester files directly in the portal and emails you a PDF receipt.

How often must Reno and Sparks restaurants pump their grease interceptors?

City of Reno Utility Services (Environmental Control) and City of Sparks require commercial food service establishments to pump grease interceptors every 60 to 90 days, or sooner if combined floating grease and settled solids reach 25% of the liquid depth, and maintain signed hauler manifests on-site.
