La Jolla’s bustling dining scene , from upscale restaurants overlooking La Jolla Cove to popular cafés in the Village, means grease traps are in constant use. Many kitchens operate in older buildings with aging plumbing, making them more prone to clogs and grease buildup. The proximity to the coast adds humidity that can worsen pipe corrosion. San Diego County also enforces strict grease management regulations, and ignoring maintenance can result in fines or even temporary closures.
