§ 8.41.160. Temporary use of holding tanks and portable toilets.
Latest version.
The director may allow the temporary use of a holding tank to assist in abating a
nuisance or health hazard caused by a failing or malfunctioning onsite wastewater
treatment system. An existing in-place septic tank may serve as a holding tank by
capping the outlet of the tank to prevent any discharge from the tank. Holding tanks
shall be pumped out by a registered septage pumper/hauler before they fill and overflow.
Except for the above use, a holding tank may not be used in place of a permitted,
properly functioning onsite wastewater treatment system. An operating permit issued
by the director will be required, which will provide for the identification of the
tank pumper, maintenance schedule, tank sewage level monitoring, reporting requirements,
and applicable fee.
Portable toilets are intended to serve non-residential, limited use activities, such
as special events, temporary construction sites, and legal field labor operations
where connection to a public sewer or onsite wastewater treatment system is not practicable.
It is not the intent of this chapter to regulate portable toilets—a portable toilet
is not an alternative to a permitted and properly functioning onsite wastewater treatment
system or connection to a public sewer.
