Septic tank pumping events (ES8130.45)

Per-event log from the QuickBooks Septic Tank Pumping account. Each row is a vendor bill for pumping a private tank that ties into the Village collection system. Memos name the properties; the bill is per-service-call (no per-event volume metric, unlike WWTP sludge). The recurrence table below surfaces which addresses drive most of the spend.

Burn-up + burn-rate vs FY budget

Cumulative $ billed (top) with a fitted regression extrapolated to the projected exhaustion date — the empirical burn rate is in the legend. The derivative below shows the time-varying monthly rate; spikes are multi-property weather events (especially the Jan-Feb 2026 freeze), the smoothed line is the trend you'd compare against the dashed monthly budget.

July 2025 septic pumping totaled $4,268 across 4 invoices (2 dated in July, 2 in early August with July event dates). Two invoices fall within the calendar month [tc_a6d7d3155f]: a single-property routine call on 2025-07-08 ($266.75) and a multi-property event on 2025-07-31 ($1,067) with explicit memo date 2025-07-30. The 14-day billing window captures two additional August-dated invoices with July event dates, indicating a weather or infrastructure stress event spanning late July through early August. No prior septic history found for any property [tc_7ea53e3e2b], and no mayor's report coverage for July [tc_36a20ffb75].

Single property (57 West Market) pumped on invoice date 2025-07-08 [tc_a6d7d3155f]. No memo event date provided, but invoice is dated in early July, suggesting same-month event. No prior history of this property in 2025-01 through 2025-06 [tc_7ea53e3e2b]. Amount $266.75 is well within routine single-property range. No extreme weather context in July [tc_192f5a3c6a shows mean precip 0.203 in, max 2.628 in on a single day but no freeze conditions].

Three properties pumped (35 E Market, Taste Budds, 7590 N Bway) on explicit memo event date 2025-07-30 [tc_c914ef5c46]. Multi-property cluster on same date is consistent with weather or infrastructure stress. July precipitation totaled 6.284 inches [tc_192f5a3c6a], with a single-day max of 2.628 in, providing plausible context for simultaneous backups. No prior history of these properties in 2025-01 through 2025-06 [tc_7ea53e3e2b]. Amount $1,067 for three properties is elevated but not extreme.

LLM 3/3 verified

September 2025 septic pumping totaled $3,627.80 across 5 invoices [tc_9a1f66e181], more than double the $1,700 routine budget. Multiple properties were pumped on 2025-09-19, including 7484 S Bway which recurred from August 2025 [tc_683f20f6ee], suggesting chronic infrastructure stress. No explicit event dates in memos and no DEC compliance events [tc_683f20f6ee] or weather context [tc_8121ad5ce1] to confirm a discrete weather trigger.

  • Over-budget month ($3,627.80 vs. $1,700 routine)
  • Chronic property: 7484 S Bway pumped in both August and September
  • High single-property charge: 42 W Market - Stewart's at $1,493.80

Single property (42 W Market - Stewart's) with unusually high charge of $1,493.80 [tc_f9f5cf507e]. No prior history of this property in Jan-Aug 2025 [tc_683f20f6ee]. No explicit event date in memo, but invoice dated 2025-09-19 (mid-month) suggests event occurred in early-to-mid September.

Four invoices totaling $2,965.05 [tc_fb8b6fc714] across January 2026, with one flagged emergency pump at 42 W Market. No extreme weather context [tc_0ba4a73b41]; mayor's report contains no sewer commentary [tc_26f51c9e35]. One property (42 W Market) shows chronic recurrence from 2025 [tc_eefdf954df]. The month-end cluster (invoices 76943 and 76956 on Jan 21–23) suggests possible freeze-related stress, though precipitation was normal.

January is freeze season (Jan–Feb); though precipitation was normal (1.18 in total, mean 0.038 in/day) [tc_0ba4a73b41], freeze events can cause backups independent of rain. No prior history of these properties in 2025 [tc_eefdf954df]. Amount $1,067 is consistent with 3-property service call.

Primary event (1/28, 1/30) belongs to January freeze; 2/2 portion belongs to February. Classified as weather_event due to: (1) explicit freeze-season dates (late Jan, early Feb); (2) multiple pumping events across 5 days; (3) high amount ($1,600.50) consistent with freeze-driven backups; (4) DEC precipitation data [tc_d78ef4cca3] shows 1.18 in over Jan-Feb period.

Invoice 33636 [tc_cdd4ba494f] dated 2026-03-03 has memo 'various' with no specific properties or event date. The vague memo prevents identification of which properties were pumped or when the service occurred. Historical data [tc_c22e5a353e] shows recurring patterns at properties like 42 W Market, 7590 N Bway, and others across prior months, but this invoice provides no matching detail. Given the early-March invoice date and typical 1-2 week billing lag, the event likely occurred in late February or early March, but without explicit memo dates or property names, attribution confidence is low. Amount of $1,066.20 [tc_27d0de98cf] is consistent with routine multi-property service calls but cannot be confirmed without property detail.

Properties parsed from memo strings, ordered by event count. Property names are best-effort — some memos contain multi-property language that the regex parser splits imperfectly. The LLM classification per row uses memo context directly and is more accurate per-event.
