I was paying £50 five years ago out in the Fens.

I have a fairly standard domestic septic - how much should it cost to
empty one? I've been quoted 90 quid - seems a bit steep to me!

Is that all? Your water company must have been charging less to
dispose of it.

Very cheap. The company has to pay a large fee to pump it into the swer.

A local farmer here charges slightly less than the local septic tank
professional, who charges just under £100. However the farmer disposes
of his by pumping onto his fields, the professional gives you a
certificate of correct disposal. I pay the bit extra.

Depends how big it is - how many tanker loads it takes to empty it.
£90 for 1 load is about right IMO.

Remember that's a very rural area where lots of farmers do it as a
sideline - and farmers desperate for any income stream.


Not with wheat at £170 a ton they aren't.


(and the Environment Agency caught one who'd been pumping out onto his
own land)

You should watch The Poo Doctors Video, you may decide never to pump
your tank again....? www.ThePooDoctor.com If you havn't seen it yet,
