§ 353-10. Craigville Beach District implementing regulation: pumping requirements.

Within the Craigville Beach District, all property owners or other responsible parties are required to remove the septage from their on-site sewage disposal systems at least once in every four years unless otherwise required under Title 5 or any valid Town of Barnstable permit, or unless an extension is granted by the Health Agent. A septic tank or cesspool shall be pumped when the total thickness of solids (sludge plus scum) is equal to or exceeds 33% of the liquid depth of the tank or cesspool. If a property owner, agent, or tenant believes that the septage removal is not necessary within the four years, an inspection by an agent of the Board of Health may be requested. If, in the opinion of the Health Agent, the system does not require pumping or other maintenance, the septage removal may be postponed for up to two years. Further extensions of up to two years at a time may be granted as often as is reasonable in the opinion of the Health Agent after reinspections. Nothing in this section should be construed to suggest that septage may not be removed more often than once in four years.

Adopted 1-19-2011 by Order No. 11-01 of the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates pursuant to Ch. 716 of the Acts of 1989 (Cape Cod Commission Act)
