Septic Tank Pumping

Sewer Fund · 8 snapshots across 6 meeting dates

This sewer fund account covers the costs of pumping septic tanks. After starting at zero in 2022, expenses grew significantly, though they remain lumpy due to weather-related spikes. Following mid-year increases in previous years, the latest draft for FY 26/27 is set at $20,400. This represents a 24% reduction from the projected FY 25/26 budget by excluding potential freeze-related costs.
