This tank is 30' deep, and a hose and pump system compatible with emptying a tank of this depth will be required. Estimated daily need for pumping is 20,000 gallons. This is only an estimate based on current Wastewater Treatment Plant output. Actual gallons needed to be pumped daily may fluctuate. ccess to the Wastewater Treatment Plant is limited by a railroad trestle. Contractor must use a pump truck that will be able to access the location. The pumped load must then be transferred to a larger storage tank truck which the contractor must provide.
