Pennsylvanias Regan Wilson parlayed his training as
a mechanic with industry networking at the WWETT
Show to build a thriving new pumping business.
ON THE COVER: Five years into his business, River Valley Septic Inc.
marketing-minded owner Regan Wilson has built a large clientele. Part
of the reason for his success is the many lessons learned at the Water &
Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show. Wilson
is shown with his workhorse vacuum truck, a 2002 Mack with a Jurop/
Chandler pump built out by National Truck Center. (Photo by Jane Therese)

Something Shiny
and New in Your Garage?
The NTEA Fleet Purchasing Outlook shows work truck buyers are slowly and steadily updating equipment,
not so worried about alternative fuels or engine technology By Jim Kneiszel, Editor
ts that time of the year when youre getting a good handle on the needs
of your equipment fleet. By July, youve been working your trucks their
hardest for several weeks and you know whether theyve got the capacity
and the reliability to serve the needs of your growing pumping company.
Are you satisfied that your vacuum trucks are showing the durability
you need, or are you worried that one or more of your daily route workhorses
might let you down and wind up in the shop? Is your current work truck roster
handling the demand for your services, or are you having to juggle appointments and schedule new pumping customers further out than you would like?
Lets face it. You have to make hay while the sun shines, and you cant
afford to run without your major revenue-generating trucks for any period
of time in the summer. You also cant risk your reputation for prompt service
by putting off customers when they call because you just cant put enough
rigs on the road.
STEADY IMPROVEMENT
If youre having a great year so far, congratulations! Your pumping business seems to be mirroring a trend across North America. The long arc of
economic recovery is showing a steady strengthening of the market for all
work trucks, according to the 2015 Fleet Purchasing Outlook released by the
NTEA, the Association For the Work Truck Industry.
The annual NTEA report shows trends that may help you as you consider new truck purchases to encourage growth and bring stability to your
pumping business for this year and beyond. While the survey responses
work across all industries that utilize work trucks both in the public sector
and among private service providers they touch on some interesting trends
in fleet-buying habits.
In a nutshell, there is evidence that work truck fleets are getting newer,
and a large percentage of companies are contemplating major purchases.
Also interestingly, companies are moving toward providing their own vehicle maintenance rather than hiring outside mechanics. And perhaps not
surprisingly, the interest in alternative-fuel truck technologies has waned a
little with falling oil prices.
Given the steadily improving business climate, fleets are optimistic regarding purchasing plans. With available funding tracking even higher than
last year, replacing older vehicles and exploring new truck productivity technologies appear to be key priorities, Steve Carey, NTEA executive director,
said in the survey introduction.
For perspective, respondents to the NTEA survey skew larger than the
average pumping company. Only 6 percent of those surveyed have a fleet of
less than 10 trucks. Companies with 10-50 trucks represent 21 percent of respondents, while 25 percent of the companies have 101 to 500 trucks. The big-

The septic system actually included the septic tank, pump tank, sand
filter, alarm(s), drainfield, pump tank pump, sand filter pump, floats and
sewage pump in the basement. The new homeowner called us to see if we
could increase the size of the system. We pulled the as-built drawing and
the inspection report only to discover there was a discrepancy in components listed in the time-of-sale inspection, and we recommended another
inspection.
Our inspection revealed a failed sand filter; missing alarms; no inlet
baffle coming into the septic tank; incorrectly sized piping; flooded inlet
baffle; corroded, exposed electrical connections; root intrusion in laterals;
and sludge in a manifold preventing equal distribution of effluent.
We continually find inadequate inspections by several licensed septic
companies, but they continue to get the calls because they dont find problems that could jeopardize the sale, and they are cheap. There is shared
responsibility from the Realtor, inspector, seller, county and homebuyer to
ensure what is being sold and purchased has a properly functioning septic
system that is safe.

trying to convince the owner of a septic system to take care of it.

In 2013, Chris Winton a pumper whom Wilson bumped into occasionally at a local waste disposal facility asked if Wilson would be interested in
acquiring his business because he, too, was retiring. The business, Roberson
Septic, was located about 10 miles from Riegelsville and serviced less than
500 customers. Again, it was a good fit geographically.
Robersons business volume wasnt as
big, Wilson says, explaining that he financed

money on the second purchase after the loan is
paid off in 2016.
iNVeSTiNG iN eQUiPMeNT
As River Valley grew and revenue increased, Wilson invested in equipment that could save time and labor and generate new revenue through upcharges. The companys workhorse is the pre-owned Mack truck, outfitted
by National Truck Center with a 4,000-gallon steel tank and a 420 cfm Jurop/
Chandler pump.
Most septic tanks Wilson pumps hold 1,000 gallons, so it made sense
to buy a truck with a tank large enough to maximize dump trips and subsequently minimize fuel costs and vehicle wear and tear. The truck, which
Wilson bought at the Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show, features an Eaton-Fuller 10-speed manual transmis-

The long-term success of your business depends on more than your profit and loss statements.
Look at these factors to determine how youre doing. By Howard Hyden
oo many companies are obsessed with their profit and loss reports. It
hasnt occurred to them that they might be looking at the wrong numbers. Lets examine some factors that might have a bigger impact on
profit and loss.
Reduce total cost to the customer. A forklift distributor in Los Angeles, who sells and services forklifts to national companies like Home Depot,
among others, has adopted this strategy. A customers forklift operator had
run his lift into a post, damaging the lift cage. The cage was severely bent. The
normal action by the technician responding to the call would have been to
order a new cage. The cost of this part is substantial, not to mention the labor
required to remove the damaged cage and install a new one.
Instead, the technician, without consulting with his manager, went to
an auto parts store and purchased a hydraulic jack for $200 with his own
money. The technician figured he could use the power jack to return the
bent frame of the cage to its original condition. His action saved the customer a large sum of money. This will have a huge impact in increasing customer loyalty in the future. When a business shows this kind of initiative,
customers will spread the PWOM (positive word-of-mouth), which can also
contribute to an increase in sales for the company.
The cost of not training is greater than the cost of training. The huge
investment has already been made. The cost of human capital, which includes salary, benefits, payroll tax, Social Security, etc., is usually the single
biggest expense an organization has. But dont forget about training. Its this
small investment that leverages the big investment that has already been
made. A formula to plan your investment in training is:
Dollars invested in training (12 months) / gross salary = ___%
In other words, training is a percent of payroll. The average in this country has been .5 to 2 percent, which is fairly anemic. That number should be
skyrocketing. Businesses that want to excel should target the 5 to 10 percent
range.
The cost of not weeding the garden. If you do not weed the garden of
your poor performers, you will jeopardize losing your top performers, and
the performance of the team will go down. When you finally weed the garden, employees will not only applaud your actions but also wonder what
took you so long.
PWOM (positive word-of-mouth). Everyone knows that positive
word-of-mouth is the most effective form of advertising. Yet too often companies do not measure it. Look at this example:
Company A
70%
30%
32
PWOM
Paid Media
Company B
30%
70%
Repeat Customers
New Accounts
Company B
30%
70%
It has been said numerous times that the cost of acquiring a new account is far greater than the cost of keeping current customers. If thats the
case and the two companies above are equals in revenue, Company A will
come out on top in profits, thanks to its wealth of repeat customers.
DIGGING DEEPER
Why is it then that so many companies focus on standard financial
statements and rarely take a hard look at these other factors? Part of the reason is that general accounting principles categorize expenses and revenue
into the traditional account numbers that permeate every companys financial statements. It takes some out-of-the-box thinking to consider the non-P
& L financials.

at improving water quality in the bay. Opponents say it singles out poultry
companies and would cost five large poultry companies $15 million and
could hurt poultry farmers who raise the animals. A similar bill last year
failed due to a veto threat from then-Gov. Martin OMalley, who could not
seek re-election due to the states term limits.
Wisconsin
A provision in the Wisconsin state budget would end a program designed to help low-income people and small businesses replace or repair
their failed septic systems. The Wisconsin Fund provided $2.3 million in
2014 to help 654 property owners. All but five of the states 72 counties participate in the program, which began in 1978. The proposal in Gov. Scott
Walkers budget is subject to approval by the state Legislature.
Missouri
Taney County spent $73,335 in 2014 to pay for the pumping of 500
septic tanks and will continue the program. It was the first year the county offered to cover the full cost, an average of $145, to make sure septic
systems were being pumped properly. The fund utilized 1 percent of the
revenue from a county .5 percent Wastewater Capital Improvements Sales
Tax. The county has renewed an agreement with a local pumping company for 500 pumpouts again in 2015 with 70 homes already signed up
due to a backlog from last year. A homeowner can only access the program
every four years. The free pumping applies only to single-family residential properties.
Alberta, Canada
Helping homeowners manage their septic systems is the goal of a
pilot program launched in early 2015 in the province of Alberta. Septic
Sense: Solutions for Rural Living is sponsored by the Land Stewardship
Centre and the Alberta Onsite Wastewater Management Association. The
one-year program will implement, test and evaluate the feasibility of developing a full-fledged septic system operation and maintenance workshop program in Alberta.
According to an announcement of the program, it will offer a range
of educational opportunities and resource materials for landowners,
including a workshop and a homeowners guide developed by wastewater
management experts that covers various types of ways to cost-effectively
maintain septic systems. It is based on a similar program offered for years
for private well owners.

Murray created an awesome business. Everyone
knew Murray, and we had big shoes to fill. And we knew
from the beginning we would have employees because
we are older, notes Debbie. The Coes are both 60.
Jeff calls the area where they live paradise, just
an hour and a half away from the ocean and fishing.
Even as he purchased the business, his thoughts were
on retirement. Debbie found herself loving running
the business even if she is tethered to her cellphone
wherever she goes and needs to mix business (her laptop) with pleasure
when she goes to the beach.
Debbies focus has been top-notch customer service and to build on
the good reputation Coupland created. Jeff learned about pumping by riding
with Coupland for a few months, and Debbie also went on runs so she would
better understand the business. She uses that knowledge to ask questions
and have conversations with people who call. Shes taken the customer
list from index cards to data files in her computer, which includes contact
information, call-back prompts and notes that have helped her develop
personal relationships with repeat customers.
QUAliTY eMPloYeeS
Some of Debbies favorite
calls are those regarding
employees. One of the best
comments weve had is that
our employees are a breath of
fresh air, she says. Who says
that about pumpers?
Jeff explains that hiring
good employees is one of the
most important things about
running a successful business.
Good service wins. If you have bad employees representing you, youre
not going to do very well, he says. Im really good at hiring. They have to
meet my criteria. Im easygoing, but Im demanding.
Most of the time, the Coes two employees work together to service an
average of six tanks a day. Debbie gives them the list of customers, and they
plan the route with the trucks Garmin GPS. They follow a specific protocol:

sod to open a tank, polite behavior with customers that includes answering
questions and providing education (about not flushing flushable wipes and
the best bathroom tissue choices), a mini-inspection and having customers

They work very hard for Jims Septic Service; they treat it like their own
business, Debbie says.
According to the Coes, employees receive annual raises, two weeks
paid vacation, commission on product sales, bonuses and companyprovided uniforms. The Coes say they are flexible about work schedules to
accommodate family needs and time off for hunting and fishing.

raking it in
Septic service trucks have a professional appearance. But they should also be
outfitted to carry all the tools a technician will need throughout the day. So says Jeff
Coe, co-owner of Jims Septic Service in Grants Pass, Oregon.
Each of Jeffs trucks carries everything drivers will need to pump tanks and
perform minor onsite system repairs. The piece of equipment used most often isnt
something he purchased, but something he has custom-made by a local welder
10-foot rakes used to stir septage during the pumping procedure.
To do a better job, two technicians work most pumping jobs.
One guy works the hose and the other works the rake, and they can trade off.
When its thick theres lots of torque and it will bend the rake, he explains.
The rakes are made out of 1 1/4-inch hollow aluminum tube welded to a 4by 16-inch 3/8-inch-thick aluminum plate. Theyre used as a matter of routine to
ensure stubborn sludge is removed from the bottom of the tank.
As far as were concerned, were here to get that out of the tanks. Thats
what ruins drainfields. Thats why were here, he says. Some (tanks) havent
been pumped in 15 years. We did a 40-year-old tank recently that had never been
pumped.
Jeff is also concerned about technicians avoiding injury while meeting the
physical demands of pumping, digging out and lifting lids, etc. To reduce mishaps
and injury lifting lids, he had a hook custom-made to use as a lift bar. Made out of
5/8-inch round stock steel, a T-bar handle welded to a hook makes it easier for one
or two workers to lift tank lids.
To raise efficiency for maximum profit, you have to have the correct tool for
the job, he says. Tradesmen in America typically work at least 30-40 years; proper
tools help achieve this.

We have two beautiful trucks that are driving billboards, she says. The
trucks graphics and cleanliness send a clear message about the business
focus on detail.
The areas temperate climate reduces weather challenges pumpers in
other areas may face, but there are other challenges connected with aging
systems, many dating to the 1950s through the 1970s. With a population of
250,000, about 80 percent of the areas homes utilize septic systems. A new
mandated seven-page inspection report for real estate sales (up from onepage) has soured some pumping companies from offering the service, Jeff
notes.
To us, its just another bureaucratic hoop to jump through, so why not?
We change accordingly as always, and are happy to supply this service, he
says.
Besides residential customers, Jims Septic provides service to jails,
schools, banks, RV parks and commercial grease tanks. One unique customer
is a secure mental health facility. Jeff notes the layout was well planned, with
the septic system located outside the locked walls and adjacent to a parking
lot, making it handy to pump.
Comparing that to some nightmare residential setups where the tanks
are accessed under bedroom floors Jeff says the tighter DEQ regulations
are well founded.
THe NeXT GeNerATioN
Nearing the end of their working careers, the Coes havent pursued
some natural new service offerings. For example, they currently refer all
inside plumbing work to another business. Debbie notes that a Jims Septic
employee could run a service van to handle the work. Thats a possibility,
as the Coes son, Aaron, looks forward to taking over the family business
one day.
For now, Jeff says Debbie has a good handle on running the business,
and he can help when he wants to and enjoy retirement-like activities at
the same time.
Luckily my wife has taken a shine to this business and she really enjoys
what she does. She is the brains behind this. Ive worked 45 years, and Im
here for advice and financial ideas, and together its working out real well for
us, he says. Shes enjoying what shes doing and Im enjoying not doing as
much as I usually do.

The paper trail used to bog down some aspects of operations at OnSite
Management Inc. in West Chester, Pa. But that changed dramatically when
the company went to cloud-based data storage, which greatly improved
productivity by providing companywide access to documents even for
employees on remote work sites, says Jeff Rachlin, one of the companys
co-owners.
As an example, septic system inspection reports that used to be
available only in paper form are now scanned as digital .pdf files and
posted on a remote server employees can access via home computers,
laptops and smartphones. The company pays a minimal monthly fee for
the service, he says.

Taking
a Bow
Weld tried a new approach for the removal process. Sunday night
and continuing Monday, the team pumped and moved all units to a single
staging area, which he felt simplified the job. Its easier to send a driver to
pick up toilets if theyre all in one spot, he explains. I probably spent a little
bit extra labor, but at least you dont have to send somebody with a map to
go to this campground, get these six, go to another campground, get these
eight. Then you start leaving sinks behind and the (handicap unit) doesnt
fit. Its just a logistics nightmare trying to get the loads to work out. During
the week, they grabbed units as schedules permitted.

replace a system during a real-estate transaction, the buyer
sees what the seller is going through its a great teaching
point, he says. They can see that with a maintenance
contract, they dont have to worry about that any more. Its as
close to flush and forget as you can be.
It also helps that consumers are becoming more aware
of the importance of septic system management, especially
as more municipalities and/or states require septic system
inspections before a home is sold.

Kohls says that the feedback he and the rest of the exhibit floor Kuriyama
staff received regarding the Solarguard hose has been overwhelmingly
positive. He pointed out that the company came into the show with high
expectations, and it was apparent almost immediately those would be
surpassed.
This product solves a big problem that a lot of contractors in the field

Grit and Sand
Question: i just bought a used tank for my truck. it has the vacuum hose
coming out of the top, and the pressure line and a pipe lie in the bottom of the
tank with holes drilled in it. Gravel and sand lie in the bottom along this pipe,
and it will not blow out. Does anyone else have one like this? i am thinking
about cutting the pipe out. that way i can use a long hoe and clean the belly
out or take the front cap off and use a pressure washer and clean it out. About
10 years ago, i bought a field slurry tank and it basically had the same set up
and seemed to have the same problem. i cut it out. Any opinions?
AnsWeRs:
Its an air stir that doesnt work very well at the 6 oclock
location; 4 oclock would be better. I would also remove the horizontal pipe.
Check-valve the elbow and have a front air-stir, or plumb it to a 2-inch water
pump and drink a Coke while the grit is washed out. Either way, the tank
needs a manual vent.
The best way to keep your tank clean is by dumping using an outlet of 6 or
8 inches, which exits from the bottom on your tank on the rear. The liquid
goes out fast and powerful enough to take everything with it. This comes
from more than 40 years of experience. If you have to dump from a smaller
opening due to your disposal requirements, I have nothing for you.
outside. is it better to vinyl-wrap or paint this tank? it looks good now but a
(graphic) design would bring in a lot of new business.

A CONFIDENT FORECAST
Rosenberg is perhaps a bit more willing to go out on a limb. She reports that most tax professionals are confident the higher limits will once
again be extended.
But even if Rosenbergs right, Congress probably wont act until very
late in the year. So, once again, if you are relying on lawmakers to help
you decide whether to buy that new service truck or trailer jetter, youre
probably out of luck. Youll need to decide without knowing if youll get
the higher deduction.
So its understandable if you hesitate.
Its time to live with reality, Rosenberg says. Last year, too many
businesses put off major purchases because of the uncertainty of recouping their costs as significant tax deductions. Frankly, this kept them from
buying much-needed new equipment.
So, dont wait for Congress. Get the vital equipment you need to
grow your business and serve your customer base, Rosenberg concludes.
CONSIDER LEASE-PURCHASE
But, she says, it might be possible to hedge your bets so that you can
help your tax bottom line whether or not the higher limits stay in force:
See if a supplier will agree to a lease-purchase arrangement conditioned
on the section.
It will take some rewriting of boilerplate contracts, Rosenberg acknowledges. But heres how it would work: Work out an agreement that
lets you lease the equipment, but also can be converted right away to a
conventional purchase loan in the event Congress renews the higher limits for the 2015 tax year.
A conventional lease-to-own contract comes with a nominal buyout
price at the end of the leasing period the part of the purchase cost that
is over and above what is built in to your monthly lease payment. With this
deal, Rosenberg says your purchase price at the lease conversion would
instead cover most of the products cost and ensure you get the tax deduction.
Meanwhile, if the tax pros are wrong, the extension does finally expire
and the deduction limit falls back to $25,000, the buyer can count on deducting the lease payments, Rosenberg says. Its a little complicated. But
if someone needs to spend $50,000 or $150,000 for equipment, you need a
certain level of assurance that youll be able to recoup some of that outlay
quickly via tax benefits.

Preserving land application and retooling the sanitary code are on the agenda
for two state wastewater associations By Doug Day

There has also been talk of a new statewide sanitary code. Is that
making any progress?

committees have formed and its being talked about. Every local health
district has its own sanitary code;
there is no statewide code for them
to follow. Installers are concerned

requirements for onsite systems in
Michigan.
What do your groups provide in the way of training?
Hall: Our biggest thing is education. Our annual wastewater conference
in January offers continuing education credits toward the 30 needed for your
pumper license renewal every five years. The conference is sponsored by our
groups, along with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, the
Department of Ecosystems and Agricultural Engineering, Michigan Water
Environment Association, and Michigan Environmental Health Association.
Lindsay: The annual conference is MOWRAs biggest initiative; this last
one was the 64th. We had about 500 attendees: about 120 regulators, 200
pumpers, 80 installers, 40 vendors and a mix of service providers, time-of
-sale inspectors and system designers. Unlike the pumpers, the rest of the
onsite wastewater professionals dont have requirements for certification
and continuing education. We would like to see that as part of the bill for the
statewide standards.
Some of our members serve with the Michigan State University Extension providing onsite wastewater training for onsite professionals. They just
started that last year, primarily over the winter months at about a half dozen locations across the state. They also provide educational workshops for
homeowners and other users of onsite systems.

Sewage treatment ponds are a popular onsite solution in select rural areas.
What should you tell a homeowner about care for a lagoon system? By Jim Anderson, Ph.D.
QUESTION: What do I need to do to maintain my sewage lagoon system?
ANSWER: A few months ago, a visitor to the Pumper website wrote to
me about the individual lagoon system serving a residence. The writers family had just moved out from the city and they wondered how to take care of
the system.
Personally, I dont have experience with lagoon systems; its a technology not routinely used in my state. Over the years, though, I served on various
committees and task forces reviewing individual sewage treatment systems
and had varying levels of discussion with colleagues from Missouri, North
Dakota and a couple of other states where these systems are allowed in less
densely populated areas. In Missouri, they also looked to this option in areas
of the state where the soils were very slowly permeable (clay) and, in their
view, difficult to have soil-based systems perform well.
In most cases, an individual lagoon system has a septic tank between
the house and the lagoon to capture the large solids and scum. Effluent flows
by gravity from the tank to the middle of the lagoon where it discharges.
Most but not all states require septic tanks in front of the lagoons. Having a septic tank in front of the lagoon reduces odor problems and prevents
floating solids on the surface.
SIZE MATTERS
The lagoon itself can be circular or rectangular in shape. Sizing is dependent on the flow from the house and the local climatic conditions; the differences between precipitation and evaporation over the year; and the length
of the winter season without significant evaporation. These factors lead to
significant differences in size requirements among states and regions.
For instance, Missouri requires 440 square feet per bedroom, and North
Dakota 1,000 square feet per bedroom. The square footage is the working area
of the lagoon. Typically lagoons will have a 3-foot working depth with the dikes
built with a 3-to-1 side-slope ratio. So the actual area required for the lagoon
is much larger, which is one of the drawbacks for using lagoons for individual
houses. Setback distances from neighbors property lines also vary widely,
with 100 feet required in Missouri and a quarter of a mile in North Dakota.
The lagoon is not meant to be an infiltration pond; it is meant to act as a
container in which the facultative, aerobic and anaerobic processes can take
place to break the waste down. At a minimum the lagoon needs to be lined
with a clay bottom that is never allowed to dry out. In most areas, a synthetic
liner is now required to ensure the lagoon does not leak out the bottom. A
grassy area is usually provided to deal with times of lagoon overflow due to
excessive precipitation. Each state has its own requirements for how overflow situations are handled.

LiftGator
promotes safer,
more convenient
equipment transport
in the
SPOTLIGHT
By Ed Wodalski
The LiftGator removable lift gate from Superior Solutions Mfg., capable of
lifting 1,000 pounds, attaches to the hitch receiver of a truck. Powered by the 12volt truck battery and 3.9 hp motor, the folding, 48-inch aluminum gate rolls into
place and can be installed by one person in about three minutes.
The result of a college class project, the LiftGator was designed by 22-year-old
Justin Russo and fellow Cal Poly graduate Marty Affentranger.
It was a one-year project, and I had been working on this for a year on my own
when Marty became involved, says Russo, president of Superior Solutions Mfg.
Working as a fabricator on a ranch in Goleta, California, Russo needed to move
air compressors, blowers and generators but couldnt lift the heavy equipment by
himself.
Its a problem all of us face on a pretty regular basis, says Russo, who was
studying mechanical engineering at the time. We use our trucks for work to move
heavy things around. You can either get a bunch of guys to help you or try to
muscle it yourself.
In October 2014, Russo and Affentranger took top prize in the annual TechPitch
competition for small businesses in the area.
The judges liked the real-life application of the product, says Russo, who
compared the competition to TVs Shark Tank. You talk about your business,
where youve come from and where you plan to go. They judge you on how successful they think youll be.
The lift gate attaches to any pickup truck, flatbed or utility body truck equipped
with a hitch receiver. The majority of the lifting weight is distributed to adjustable
legs incorporated into the unit. A wiring kit connects to an adapter at the back of
the truck to power the lift. The truck does not need to be running to operate the lift.
The lift gate can be used by pumpers, onsite installers and portable restroom
operators to transport equipment to various onsite installations, special events and
septic job sites.
What we found is a lot of times you can send one person to do a job that you
might have needed two people to lift. It helps you work more efficiently, Russo
says.
The key feature of the lift gate is its removable. You only have it there when
you need it and you can put it on multiple vehicles. If you have three, four, five
trucks in a fleet, you can just put it on one truck for the worker who needs it.
The No. 1 thing is safety. No one wants worker-comp claims. 805/448-7183;
