If your septic tank is getting ready to overflow and fertilize the neighborhood, there’s good news from the Taney County Office of Environmental Services.
The Taney County Septic Tank Pump Out Program is being made available for the 2022 calendar year. This is the eighth year the county has made the service available to qualifying Taney County property owners.
The program pays 100% of the cost for pumping out a septic tank on a single-family residential property every four years. The homeowner is responsible for locating their septic tank and having the service access exposed for the hauling company.
The program is funded through the county’s Sewer Sales Tax. The program has pumped out 3,443 tanks since launching in 2014.
Residents wishing to participate in the Taney County Septic Tank Pump Out Program, applications can be found on the County’s website, taneycounty.org. Applications can also be sent to residents by contacting Program Manager John Soutee at jsoutee@co.taney.mo.us or calling 417-546-7238.
