Santa Cruz County septic pumping companies

What the permit means

California has no statewide septic pumper licence. Health and Safety Code 117405 makes it unlawful to pump a septic tank without a registration issued by the local health officer, so the register that matters here is Santa Cruz County's own.

That makes this county a permission, not an address. Every business on this page is permitted to pump in Santa Cruz County, wherever it is based — several are based well outside it. This is the opposite of the state-licensed directories elsewhere on this site, where a county is only where a business happens to sit.

County of Santa Cruz Health Services Agency — Environmental Health records which service each permit covers — septic, chemical toilets, grease, sale inspections. Only the 17 marked for septic appear here, out of 33 permitted liquid waste companies.
