Over the past few months, I've heard a variety of questions regarding pumping septic tanks and other sewage tanks. Also, some states have become more interested in requiring pumpers to take a class on vacuum truck operation and how to properly pump and clean septic tanks.
There is a set of performance standards for pumping and cleaning septic tanks. My apologies if I don't have the exact sequence, but I believe the idea for such a standard originated with the Pennsylvania Septage Management Association due to questions associated with their early inspection program
