Mahoning Co. health department issues pumping reminders

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County District Board of Health will begin mailing pumping reminders to 1,222 Beaver Township residences with septic systems that have not been pumped in the last three years.

“There is no law that requires homeowners to get their septic tanks pumped,” said Matthew Stefanak, health commissioner of the General Health District in Mahoning County. “But reminding

homeowners to get their septic systems serviced regularly can save them thousands of dollars in repair costs,” he said.
