Most of Sun Valley is on community sewer, but some older lots and hillside parcels still run on septic. If you're one of them, you need a pumper who knows the area.
If your Sun Valley home is on septic, we'll get a licensed, state-permitted pumper to your property with the price agreed up front. Pump-outs, inspections for home sales, alarm calls, risers, and drainfield repair.
Septic in Sun Valley: what to know
- Homes on the edges of the valley and some older parcels still use private tanks.
- Not sure if you're on septic? Check your sewer bill or ask us. See our septic-or-sewer guide.
- Older tanks here may be steel or small, so pump schedules can be shorter.
