Septic System Cleanings

​

HOMEOWNERS: After septic system cleaning, please notify the board president and provide a receipt (paper or digital) as verificaton of work completed. 

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources recommends that septic systems be cleaned every three to five years, assuming normal household usage.

​

NEW HOMEOWNERS: A time of transfer inspection of your septic system is required at the time of purchase. This entails pumping out the tank and inspecting it. If you don't have a copy, ask your Realtor. Your mortgage documents might also include a copy.
