Should I wait to receive a notice every five years before having my septic tank pumped out or inspected?
You can. In order to balance the work load for the sewage haulers and the amount of septage delivered for treatment, the City will notify approximately one-fifth of the City residents located within the CBPA each year about these requirements. You can have your septic tank pumped at any time during the five-year cycle or wait to receive the notice. Only those properties with their drainfields located within the CBPA are required to be pumped out every 5 years.
