Seattle pumps RV waste tanks

[abnorm]

Saw this article....City of Seattle.......since Covid and with Many street sewage spills.....This year started a free RV Pump-Out service 

Seattle Public Utilities’ waste-pumping program has cut sewage spills from homeless people’s RVs in half | The Seattle Times

What struck me in the article was the cost/per unit......They spent $179,000 to pump out 1,000 RV tanks........I guess that's Government

Makes $45 in Quartzsite look like a real deal!

Good for them, sez me.

A most interesting piece about today's changing demographics and lifestyles and (some) cities' responses to them.

Thanks, Abnorm.

I plan on being a lot farther back at YARC area, guess I can drive up there and dump my when I need to.

Quite a few who stay any length of time have blue boys so they don’t have to go dump.

I'd just as soon move and dump the tanks and fill water at the same time.

My fresh tank holds 50 gallons and my 2 waste tanks combined hold 50 gals.
