Tank Operator
Warning Given
A warning was issued to resi
dents of Vernonia this week after
activity of an apparently fraudu
lent septic tank treatment operator
in this area was brought to the at
tention of the police department.
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.
