BPUB Permitting Made Simple – Grease Traps

Opening a food business is a challenge on its own; permitting should not be what slows you down.

Join Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation (BCIC) and our guest speakers from Brownsville Public Utilities Board (BPUB) for Permitting Made Simple, a practical session focused on pretreatment systems and grease interceptors (grease traps).

You will learn what they are, why they matter for your operation, and what commercial clients are expected to have in place before opening or expanding.

What we will cover

• What grease interceptors are, and how they work.
• Why pretreatment requirements exist, and how they protect your business and the community.
• Common permitting steps, documents, and inspection expectations.
• Typical mistakes that cause delays, rework, and extra costs.
• Real-world Q&A, bring your questions and scenarios.

Who should attend
Restaurant owners, food trucks, caterers, bakers, commercial kitchen users, property owners, and anyone planning a food concept in Brownsville.

Why it matters
