Get Ready for Holiday Guests with a Septic Tank Pump-Out
November 17, 2022
Are relatives coming over for the holidays? Will your septic system be overwhelmed? Why not add a septic pump out to your holiday preparations and receive a rebate for your efforts?
Approximately 25% of Missouri homes rely on onsite wastewater treatment systems, commonly referred to as septic tanks. Routine septic pump-outs are imperative for maintaining effective wastewater treatment and prolonging the life of your system.
Due to the porous nature of our Ozarks landscape, sewage from improperly maintained septic systems can easily contaminate groundwater as well as our local rivers and lakes. Routine maintenance of septic system is one of the most steps that landowners can take to protect our drinking water resources and maintain the health of our local waterways.
The James River Basin Partnership, in conjunction with Greene County and City Utilities of Springfield, is offering septic pumpout rebates of up to $150 for qualified homeowners. See attached map for details.
To receive the rebate application, you must be a resident of the James River watershed and complete a survey prior to having your tank serviced by an approved service provider. For more information, please contact Todd Wilkinson at (417) 836-4847 or fill out the online application form at www.jamesriverbasin.com/septic.
