What Is a Septic Truck Business?
A septic truck is a big truck with a tank.
It pumps out messy stuff from the septic system under the ground.
Your job is to drive, pump, and take the waste to a safe place.
Customers need clean tanks or their toilets won’t work!
Who are the customers?
- People in homes with a septic tank
- Restaurants and offices
- Schools and campgrounds
- Farms and factories
These folks need help because city pipes do not reach them.
If you own a septic pumping business, they call you!
Why Are Septic Services Needed?
Can you guess how many houses don’t use city pipes?
Millions! In places far from cities, there are more rural septic services.
Septic tank cleaning is the only way to keep their toilets working.
People need:

Regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) mean you have to stay safe and follow the rules.
