Do you need a permit to pump a septic tank in Lemont?
No. A routine pump-out is licensed hauling, not a county construction permit.
Cook County Department of Public Health permits new systems and significant repairs. Pumping and hauling is done by a licensed contractor — ours is License #055-044513.
Lemont Public Works maintains about 150 miles of pipe across sanitary, storm, and combined sewer systems. Sanitary wastewater from village homes and businesses goes to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District.
Cook County Department of Public Health private sewage program if the job is a new system or a repair.
