There is no reason for my tax dollars to be used to supply a service that is readily availble, inexpensive and well served by the private community. I can see serving remote lakes without services, or maybe even remote spots on Winnipesaukee, but not inside a private yacht club with its own free to members pumpout.
I wonder if they take EBT cards or food stamps as a tip. Those are probably the ones who will take advantage of it.
Many saw & smelled a big cruiser being pumped out at the Margate docks during the SeaRay event by this service.
Who would wait till they are at a party with hundreds around to smell it to get their tank pumped. Oh and Irwins, Lakeport and Paugus Bay Marina were all 1/4 mile away.
