Was that the purple poop pumper?

Those turd suckers sure do have a sense of humor, but I guess they have to!

They sure do have a sense of humor. I have a buddy who took a picture of a septic pumper truck with the slogan, "We pump what the competition talks," painted on the side.:laughing:

There must be something fascinating about septic tank pumping

When I was a kid, most homes had town sewer service already, but once in awhile we would spot a "Honey Pot" in the neighborhood. Man, it was like the circus came to town. Every kid from blocks around would come running, to watch :laughing:

Just had my tank pumped in late October and it cost $300 (said it's based on size of your tank). I was impressed with the young guy that did mine mostly b/c I didn't know the exact location of the tank but had an idea based on a clean out pipe back there.

He came, started "walking it to measure" and began digging - he said tanks are usually a standard so many feet down and over from the cleanout if there is one. My tank/lid was 4 feet down and he dug it all by hand. He pumped it, put lid back on, covered the dirt back over it and gone within an hour.

$65 here and that went up from $50 two years ago.

Wow. In Oregon they have to haul the septage to a treatment site, not just dump it in a ditch along a back road.

They don't dump in a ditch, but it is common for them to "fertilize" the fields with it. Usually corn fields that is used for the livestock.

They used to allow that here. The started requiring that it be taken to a sewage plant after years of operators getting caught road dumping. Sometimes they would drive and dump at the same time. One guy admitted to dumping 140K gallons of waste in road ditches. They could make a lot more money by not speading it on a field, just pump & dump, they could do 5x the biz. Our pump fees went from $75 to $175 very quickly. And that was a few years ago. It's time to do ours, so I am sure it's gone up.
