How often am I required to pump?

Septic Systems are required to be properly pumped or inspected every 3 years. Inspections may be conducted by a master plumber, journeyman plumber or a person licensed under s. 281.28. Holding Tank Systems are required to be pumped whenever the wastewater of the tank reaches a level of one (1) foot below the inlet invert of the tank. A holding tank will be placed on a 90-day schedule. Aerobic Treatment Systems (ATU) are required to be properly maintained or pumped as prescribed by the state or governmental unit (when the combined sludge and scum volume equals 1/3 of tank volume)
