Tampa & Hillsborough County, FL Backflow & Grease Trap FAQs

Direct answers sourced from City of Tampa Water Department & Hillsborough County Water Resources and Hillsborough County Public Utilities FOG Program & City of Tampa Wastewater Grease Management regulations.

How do backflow test results get submitted to the City of Tampa vs. Hillsborough County?

They use two different portals! If your water bill comes from the City of Tampa Water Department, your certified tester must be registered in the City's SwiftComply database and upload your test report within 7 calendar days of testing (and within 30 days of your notice letter). If your water service is through unincorporated Hillsborough County Water Resources, your tester must submit the report through Hillsborough County's Backflow BMP portal (or via backflowprogram@hcfl.gov for permitted replacements on HillsGovHub) and notify the County within 48 hours if an assembly fails.

How often is backflow testing required in Tampa, Florida?

Under Section 26-85 of the City of Tampa Code and FAC 62-555.360, commercial backflow prevention assemblies must be tested annually, while residential properties with irrigation systems, reclaimed water, or auxiliary water connections are tested every 2 years (biennially). In unincorporated Hillsborough County (Chapter 121), mandatory backflow preventers are tested annually.

What are the grease trap pumping rules for restaurants in Tampa and Hillsborough County?

Under Hillsborough County Code § 120-196 and City of Tampa Ordinance No. 2006-288 (Chapter 26, Article VII), all commercial food service grease traps and exterior interceptors must be completely pumped out at least once every 90 days by a County/City-registered grease hauler, and combined floating grease plus settled solids must never exceed 25% of the device's wetted volume.
