Do you need a permit to pump a septic tank in Downers Grove?
No. A routine pump-out is licensed hauling, not a county construction permit.
DuPage County Health Department permits new systems and significant repairs. Pumping and hauling is done by a licensed contractor — ours is License #055-044513.
The Village of Downers Grove says sewer and wastewater treatment service is provided by the Downers Grove Sanitary District. A homeowner on that sanitary service does not need this page presented as though the whole village uses tanks.
DuPage County Health Department private sewage program if the job is a new system or a repair.
