Walla Walla County requires a $1,000 bond to license a sewage-system pumper / cleaner — the operator who pumps and cleans septic tanks and on-site sewage systems in the County. The bond is filed with the Walla Walla County Health Department (Environmental Health). Pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum — your exact price appears at the short application.
















Pumper/cleaner license bonds are simple. Here's the entire process:
Business details, the bond amount the County requires, and an effective date. No financials, no scavenger hunt.
Small municipal license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Walla Walla County Health Department to complete your pumper/cleaner license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A sewage-system pumper/cleaner bond is a compliance guarantee. When you pump and haul septic and on-site sewage waste in Walla Walla County, the Health Department wants a financial backstop that you'll follow the County's environmental-health rules for handling and disposing of that waste.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Walla Walla County (the obligee). If you violate the County's sewage-handling rules and cause harm the County must address, it can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the pumper/cleaner license. Let it lapse and the County can suspend the license — so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — there's no credit section in the application, because this bond doesn't need one.
