You are responsible for the septage pumped from your septic tank until it is properly disposed!

Deciding which company you hire to clean your tank is important.

Any problems with service from your septic tank contractor should be reported to the Clarke County Health Department.

Utilizing licensed and responsible septage haulers helps protect public health, Athens’ infrastructure, and water quality.

The septic tank pumpers listed below have been approved to dispose septage at the Athens-Clarke County Water Reclamation Facility. To be approved, they provide proof of their Health Department truck inspection, pumper certification, liability insurance, and other licenses. The Public Utilities Department requires them to provide the name, address, and phone number of the location where the septage came from. (This information is periodically audited for accuracy.) The Utility is currently charging the haulers $0.04 per gallon for disposal of septage originating in Clarke County.
