Every backflow prevention assembly in the Anaheim Public Utilities water service area must be tested at least annually (and after installation, repair, replacement, or relocation) by a certified tester holding a valid City of Anaheim business license and appearing on the City's approved list. Test results plus a photo of the assembly during the test must be uploaded through the City's SwiftComply portal — mail and email reports are no longer accepted — and copies still go to the Orange County Health Care Agency ([email protected]). Assemblies that fail must be repaired or replaced within 30 days of the City's failure notification.
Non-Compliance Penalty
Per the APU Cross Connection Control Management Plan: a 1st notice (45 days), 2nd notice (30 days), and final notice (14 days) are emailed; if results are still not uploaded, a water termination notice is posted at the property and water service is terminated after 48 hours. No dollar fine schedule is published by the City.

RESTAURANT & COMMERCIAL KITCHEN FOG
City of Anaheim Department of Public Works — FOG Source Control Program (regional trunk sewers: Orange County Sanitation District / OC San) Rules
Anaheim Municipal Code §10.08.100 requires grease interceptors to be kept in efficient operating condition by periodic removal of their full contents (wastewater, FOG, floating materials, sludge, and solids) at the frequency set in the City's FOG Source Control Rules and Regulations. Under OC San Ordinance OCSD-25 (regional standard), interceptors must be fully pumped before combined FOG and solids exceed 25% of the total design hydraulic depth, at least every 6 months, and quarterly until a 25%-based frequency is established. Anaheim's hydro-mechanical (HGI) variance condition requires full pump-out before 25% or, at maximum, monthly.
Manifest & Hauler Rule
Use permitted grease haulers only; full pump-out is required (surface skimming is not allowed). Keep hauler manifests, receipts, and grease interceptor maintenance logs on-site, and implement Kitchen BMPs (plate scraping, waste cooking oil collection, employee training, posted BMP signage). Anaheim requires FOG-related records to be kept for at least two years and produced on request.
Violation Fines
Violations are enforced under Anaheim Municipal Code §10.08.140 (and Chapter 10.09 for sewer overflows); existing FSEs that cause FOG hot spots or SSOs can be ordered to install a grease interceptor within 180 days. OC San enforcement may include noncompliance fees, permit suspension, and permit revocation. No specific dollar fine schedule is published on the program pages.

Anaheim & Orange County, CA Backflow & Grease Trap FAQs
Direct answers sourced from Anaheim Public Utilities (APU) — Water Services, Cross Connection Control Program and City of Anaheim Department of Public Works — FOG Source Control Program (regional trunk sewers: Orange County Sanitation District / OC San) regulations.
How do backflow test results get submitted to Anaheim Public Utilities in 2026?
The City of Anaheim no longer accepts backflow test reports by mail or email. Your tester must be on the City's approved tester list, hold a valid City of Anaheim business license, and upload the test report plus a photo of the assembly during the test through the City's SwiftComply portal. Copies of completed test reports should still be sent to the Orange County Health Care Agency ([email protected]).
What happens if I miss my annual backflow test in Anaheim?
Under the APU Cross Connection Control Management Plan, you receive an emailed first notice (45 days), second notice (30 days), and final notice (14 days). If passing results still aren't uploaded to the City's portal, a water termination notice is posted at the property and water service is shut off after 48 hours. Assemblies that fail a test must be repaired or replaced within 30 days of the City's notification.
How often do restaurants in Anaheim and Orange County have to pump their grease interceptor?
Anaheim Municipal Code §10.08.100 requires full pump-outs (not skimming) at the frequency set by the City's FOG Source Control Rules and Regulations. The regional OC San standard (Ordinance OCSD-25) requires pumping before combined FOG and solids reach 25% of the interceptor's hydraulic depth, at least every 6 months, and quarterly until a 25%-based schedule is established. Keep hauler manifests, maintenance logs, and BMP training records on-site — Anaheim requires FOG records to be kept for at least two years.
