Do you need a permit to pump a septic tank in Bartlett?
No. A routine pump-out is licensed hauling, not a county construction permit.
Cook County Department of Public Health permits new systems and significant repairs. Pumping and hauling is done by a licensed contractor — ours is License #055-044513.
Bartlett requires most subdivisions to connect to the Village sanitary sewer system; a private septic system is considered only outside the corporate limits when public sewer is unavailable nearby.
Cook County Department of Public Health private sewage program if the job is a new system or a repair.
