Method of operation has been to cite a supposed state requirement in septic tank waste disposal sys tems and the quotation of a high price for the service. The operator then is willing to settle for almost any cash payment. Residents are warned not to be misled by such representations and to report similar activities to police before making any payment. Legit imate septic tank services are re quired to have a licerne for their operations.
