Do I qualify for less frequent pumping (i.e. low-flow pumping)?

If you are a property owner of a holding tank you may qualify for low-flow pumping. You must comply with DSPS 383.32(f) and 383.54(3)(c) requirements. All blackwater, graywater, effluent, etc. must be discharging into the holding tank; and secondly the tank is being pumped when all wastewater reaches 1 foot below the inlet pipe. If compliance with Comm requirements is followed you may fill out an affidavit and mail it to the Planning and Zoning Department for consideration. View the affidavit online. Holding tank having no maintenance history on file during the standard scheduling will be placed on a three year maximum inspection cycle.

If you are a property owner of a septic tank you do not qualify for less frequent pumping. The State of Wisconsin mandates that septic tanks must be properly maintained (i.e. pumped or inspected) every three years. View the inspection form for the septic tanks.
