Septic Pump Out Costs?

Merrymeeting · 08-06-2004, 12:22 PM

Can some please post the going rate for septic system pump out costs?

In my case it is for a 1200 gallon tank.

Thanks!

not sure if you meant 1200 gallons? i have a 1500 gallon tank and i pay $200.

Thanks Spanky. Yes, one too many zeros (I fixed it).

Is your price recent? Today I got a quote of $250 for the 1200 gallons. When I asked, I was told the disposal fees have gone up. At home I'm used to paying half that for a larger tank!

I just had mine pumped out 2 weeks ago as I'm a every 2 year PM (thats PM not BM) guy and before they even came they told me the reasoning for the higher cost right up front and asked me if I still wanted it pumped. Yep, it was $250.00.

it was about 8 months ago so i put a call into them, and they too have gone up in price, twice actually. so i would say that $250. is reasonable.
