City of Fort Dodge: FOG + Cross Connection Compliance Program Update
After 12 years of voluntary self-monitoring, the City of Fort Dodge is implementing a formal regulatory compliance program for FOG (Fats, Oils, & Grease) and Cross Connection (backflow prevention) to protect our wastewater and drinking water systems.
Who is required to register?
FOG (Grease Interceptors): Many commercial operations, including restaurants, automotive repair shops, car washes, hotels/motels, and convenience stores.
Cross Connection (Backflow Devices): Common in commercial and large-scale facilities, especially those with boiler operations and fire suppression systems (residential is less common).
If your facility has not registered required devices and/or has an outstanding balance, please take action before Friday, January 16, 2026, to avoid late fees and possible water disconnection.
