~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Penn Township does not offer public sewer. Your property is connected to an on-lot sewage disposal system.

Do you pump your septic tank on a regular basis? No?…Why Not? Would you change the oil in your car only when it starts running wrong? Well, your septic is no different. Over time, sludge in your septic tank builds up. If you don’t pump regularly, when the sludge has reached the top, where does it go? Yep…backed up in your house or up in your yard! YUCK! By the time this happens, it’s too late! Let the COSTLY headaches begin!

Penn Township requires property owners to have septic tanks pumped every 4 years or sooner to ensure proper operation and to save you on costly repairs (a permit not required to have your septic tank pumped). See above Septic Hauler list to schedule your pumping appointment.
