You'll need to organise installation quotes from licensed plumbers. Your chosen installation professional should have appropriate plumbing approvals from us before they start work.

EPA licensed liquid waste collectors can be found under 'waste reduction and disposal services' in your local business directory.

Snowmelting systems for concrete slabs

SCM Series Mats offer the easiest solution to snow and ice build-up, providing pre-fabricated mats at 50W/sq. ft. that can be rolled out prior to the concrete slab being poured.

The suction line should end before the grease trap. Both ends of the fixed suction line need shut off isolation valves and ‘Camlock’ fittings (see diagram).

Some customer bills have been delayed by technical issues. You will have four months to pay any late bill. You don’t need to do anything. Find out more.

If you fail to pump out your grease trap at the required frequency, you may be subject to our non-compliance process. This could see you incur costs due to the time required for Greater Western Water to ensure that the pump out of your grease trap has occurred.

The suction line must finish nearby the grease trap (see diagram below). Most waste transport contractors will carry a short length of hose specifically for connecting to the fixed suction line. The installer (a licensed plumber) may also provide a custom-made length of vacuum hose for your specific installation.

To help you determine if you need a grease trap and its size, use our grease trap sizing guide. You'll need to use this guide when you apply for a trade waste agreement or consent. Our trade waste team will confirm the size of your grease trap when processing your agreement/consent.

After you receive your trade waste agreement, check with your local council on the proposed location for the grease trap.

It is your responsibility to organise for an EPA-licensed liquid waste collector to pump out the grease trap at the frequency specified in your trade waste agreement. Typically, grease traps need to be pumped out every three months.

In some cases, grease traps need to be cleaned out remotely by a fixed suction line, rather than by a vacuum hose onsite. Cleaning a grease trap using a remote suction line ensures vacuum hoses are not in food preparation areas, shops, shopping centres or public thoroughfares.

Ideally, install the remote suction line with two 45-degree bends, as these help to prevent sewer blockages. Avoid installing a remote suction line with 90 degree bends.

The device slows the flow rate of grease in wastewater, allowing the waste to float to the surface and solids to settle at the bottom.
