Do you need a permit to pump a septic tank in West Chicago?
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.
West Chicago Public Works includes a Wastewater Treatment division and publishes sanitary-sewer construction and connection standards. This page is not a claim that every West Chicago property has a tank.
DuPage County Health Department private sewage program if the job is a new system or a repair.
