The Taney County Office of Environmental Services has announced it will continue its Septic Tank Pump Out Program in 2023.
This will mark the ninth year the service has been provided to qualifying Taney County property owners. The program will service a septic tank on a single-family residential property once every four years and 100% of the cost will be paid for the septic pump out. Any participating property owner will be responsible for locating their septic tank and having the service access exposed for the septic hauler.rt
Taney County Environmental Services Program Manager John Soutee said in 2022, 482 Taney County residents were approved to have their septic tanks pumped out through the program. Approximately 450,000 gallons of partially treated wastewater was removed from properties and transported to a publicly owned wastewater treatment facility for proper treatment. Soutee said the wastewater would have normally been released into the environment through the septic tanks disposal field.
