See office for fees for extra pump outs

-You should only require a second pump out if you have had many visitors.

-If you have not had any visitor's and your sensor on your unit is showing full, then it might be because you have tissue stuck on the sensor or you are plugged and its reading full, but does not necessarily mean you are full. Please make sure you check this before requesting a second pump out as you may be charged for something you don't need.

o Secondly, from experience, if you put a small garbage can next to your toilet, with a lid, for your toilet tissue rather than putting it in your toilet you will save yourself from getting plugged toilets and covered sensors.
