Pumping reminders

AUSTINTOWN

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

Septic tanks should be pumped at different intervals depending on household size and water usage. On average, the ideal frequency is every three years. Home-owners will receive a list of licensed pumpers with their reminder letter. Pumpers notify the Board of Health when they pump a septic tank and the Board of Health uses this information to keep track of when a septic system was last pumped, said Matthew Stefanak, Mahoning County health commissioner.

More information about septic-system maintenance can be found on the Health Links page of the District Board of Health website at www.mahoninghealth.org.
