We know what you like and were going to give you more of it
By Jim Kneiszel, Editor
ike classic car collectors and NASCAR drivers and fans, pumpers have
high-octane fuel coursing through their veins. Your job might be focused on scouring out septic tanks, grease traps and industrial pits of
all kinds, but your real passion is found on the other end of the suction hose:
your trucks.
How do we know this is true? Pumper readers burn through the pages
of classified truck ads every month to see whats being bought and sold. You
pore over photos of new rigs offered by industry truck builders in glossy fullpage ads to keep up on service truck trends. You spend three days every year
at the Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT)
Show examining the newest vacuum trucks from stem to stern.
I know youre proud of your own unique service fleet. They are prominently featured on the front page of your websites and Facebook pages. You
often refer to your trucks as rolling billboards for your professional business.
You trick them out, keep them clean and detailed, and prepare them every
morning as if youll drive them in the local Fourth of July parade.
Truck appearance means more to pumpers than it does to some work
truck owners. Why do I say this? I live in Wisconsin, the Dairy State, where
there are way more independent milk haulers than pumping professionals.
And every milk truck looks exactly the same. These dairy haulers dont spend
a lot of time detailing their trucks. They dont give any weight or consideration to additional chrome brightwork or vinyl graphics. To them, a truck is
a truck is a truck. At least it seems that way to me.
TRUCK EVOLUTION
For pumpers, a truck is a lot more than a simple waste receptacle. Its
part of the mission statement for your business. When you order a truck,
you think of it as a blank canvas on which to promote your professionalism and personality, to create a rolling billboard to reach your customers.
You give great importance to paint schemes, to building a reputation for
your business, to how you place tools and components to increase worker
efficiency.
Over the past decade, Ive seen the pumping community take a more
thorough and sophisticated approach to speccing trucks and using their
fleets as an important tool for branding a consumer-oriented business. The
growth of our popular Classy Truck feature is evidence of this trend. For the
past few years, weve seen a spike in submissions of Classy Truck photos,
and, by and large, the look of the trucks is more refined than it was when I
took the role as editor at this magazine.
We want to celebrate the evolution of the Classy Truck and provide
more of the trucking content we know pumper gearheads crave. We want
to do for work truck owners what glossy publications like Motor Trend do

catch up with owners of trucks that appeared in Pumper in the past and see
how theyre keeping it classy. Well talk about the type of work the trucks
handle, plans for new equipment, refreshes and updates, and learn what
truck owners will do differently when they order their next vehicle. We know
all of these trucks looked good when they were chosen for the Classy Truck
feature, but it will be interesting to learn how they did keeping up with a
pumpers heavy workload.
Classy Truck slideshows
Everyone loves a website photo slideshow. You know the drill: 10 celebrities who own dogs that look just like them! Were going to bring that
concept to the Pumper website minus the celebrity nonsense. When you
head over to the website this month, youll find two new Classy Truck photo
slideshows: 9 years of Classy Truck Winners and Gorgeous Graphics. The first
is a look-back at the annual contest winners going back to 2006, while the
second is a collection of trucks with eye-catching tank art.

regulations pertaining to underground storage tanks in 1988, which required owners to upgrade or replace tanks over the next 10 years.
I became state certified to install, remove and service underground
tanks, then hired a geologist and a hydrologist to handle contaminated soil remediation and groundwater issues, and established TPM Environmental Services in 1991, says Hanks. From that point on I realized that I needed to provide a full range of offerings to my customers, from concept to completion.
Hanks established Hanks Construction of Bowling Green in 1986 and operated it while completing a business degree
at Western Kentucky University. Classes
concluded in 1989, but Hanks couldnt
collect his bachelors without finishing his
internship. In 1991, I bid on the steam tunnel concrete replacement contract
at (the college) and wrote my internship on that, he says.
Hanks recalls talking to his father about ivory tower consultants who
design a project and then bring in technical know-how to perform the actual work.
My dad advised me that I needed to offer more value by becoming the
consultant and also delivering a service, he recalls. That would maximize
the value of my equipment to allow a better return on investment.
Hanks saw an opportunity following the establishment of the federal

We were performing geotechnical excavation for confirmation of utility locates and footing and load-bearing capacity for the purposes of replacing the existing infrastructure to run the plant on natural gas, says Hanks.
TPM has also seen interest from natural gas companies to hydroexcavate lines in order to replace cathodic anodes.

Rhode Island
A state Senate committee has approved a cesspool bill that was pulled
from a scheduled vote at the end of the legislative session last year. If
passed, the law would require the replacement of all cesspools with approved septic systems or sewer connections when a property is sold or
ownership changes. Waivers would be available for low-income property
owners.
Rhode Island banned installation of new cesspools in 1968, but 25,000
of them are still in use. The cesspool act of 2007 required replacement of
those within 200 feet of tidal waters, public wells and waters used for drinking supply intakes by January 2014.
Pennsylvania
The U.S. District Court for eastern Pennsylvania is reviewing the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
ruling that septic systems in the state do not require EPA review as long as
they comply with state law. Several environmental groups have challenged
the ruling saying the states septic system law violates its anti-degradation
policy and that the EPA should have reviewed and disapproved of the 2014
law. Two construction industry groups have joined the case as interveners.
The National Association of Home Builders and the Pennsylvania Builders
Association have taken the EPAs side in the case, claiming that the court
ruling is correct and that the Clean Water Act does not require an EPA review of state statutes.
North Carolina
Legislation would allow food stands to offer tables and chairs without
having to worry about being classified as a restaurant. North Carolina
state Sen. Jerry Tillman (R-Archdale) introduced the bill after visiting a
country store where senior citizens have to stand as they socialize over
biscuits warmed in a microwave oven. According to the News & Observer
newspaper, state health rules forbid food stands from providing seating to
make sure businesses have adequate septic systems to serve customers.
The Division of Public Health says it does not oppose the measure, which
would apply to permanent businesses but not food trucks.

Everson: There seems to be a growing community that wants to live that low-impact lifestyle.
There are quite a few who come through the office
and want to know whats available and what alternative systems they can look into.
How many of these systems have been installed?
Everson: The ordinance was approved just last
spring, and we approved one last fall that hasnt
been installed yet. Once one goes in, the word is
going to get around. Once people see and understand that there are alternatives, were going to
see a lot more of this happening. I think it will be

Welcome Diversity
and Build Customer Base
When you learn to understand and adapt to cultural differences, you can effectively tap into the fastgrowing minority groups to build your service business By Michael Soon Lee
ne million new immigrants enter the United States annually, and onethird of all Americans are minorities. People from diverse cultures
present a tremendous opportunity for companies to sell more products and services if businesses are willing to adjust their practices to meet
the unique needs of the fastest-growing consumer group in the country. The
buying power of Hispanics, African-Americans, Asians and Middle Easterners is growing rapidly, and they spend over $2 trillion annually.
Many Americans wrongly believe that multicultural customers only
want to do business with people from their own culture. In most cases, nothing could be further from the truth, as long as they are treated with respect
and patience.
In some cases, minorities deliberately seek out businesses and salespeople from outside their culture. In real estate, for example, some Asian
and Hispanic clients choose agents who are not from their culture because
they fear that if they share personal financial information with one of their
brethren, that information might spread around their community.
Developing a diverse customer base takes more than printing brochures in different languages or hiring bilingual employees. It requires a
long-term commitment and a willingness to adjust business practices to
meet the special circumstances of minorities. American businesses can
bridge this gap and increase sales to this market by educating themselves
on the differences.
PROPER GREETING
One challenge when trying to attract this group is that they dont buy
products and services the same way as Anglo-Americans. A few of the diversity differences that affect retail and service providers include building
rapport, negotiations and contracts.
The first step in building rapport with people, regardless of culture, is
never to assume how they want to be greeted. As Americans, we assume
customers want to be met with a firm handshake. But the most common
greeting in the world is the bow (the handshake can actually be offensive
to many people). Let the customer determine the most comfortable greeting by hesitating before extending your hand to see what they do first. Most
men, regardless of culture, will offer a handshake and may nod as they do so.
Simply do likewise.
After shaking a mans hand, it is crucial that you drop your hand to your
side before turning to his female companion. Many traditional Middle Eastern, Japanese and other women are uncomfortable touching or are even
forbidden to touch a man who is not their husband. Men from the Middle
East often do not introduce the women who accompany them, nor is it expected that you shake hands with their spouses.
36
Recognize, too, that some cultures are used to hugging and even kissing people on the cheek. Immigrant men from the Middle East often shake
hands with a slight nod or bow and then exchange kisses on both cheeks. If
this happens to you, take it as a sign that they are comfortable with you, and
do likewise. Dont try to turn away or you may get kissed on the mouth!
The global rule of greeting is to never assume anything. Greet customers verbally and give them the opportunity to offer the type of greeting that is
most comfortable for them. Then simply return the gesture.
UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL?
Personal space also varies among cultures. In the United States, we usually shake hands and then stand about 2 1/2 feet apart. This is not always
comfortable for people from more formal countries like Japan, where they
bow or shake hands and take a step back. To Americans, that distance seems
like the Grand Canyon, so we step forward. Then the Japanese person will
naturally step back to re-establish a more comfortable distance.
Some cultures prefer a closer distance when communicating. Middle
Easterners and many Hispanics will often hug you and simply stay at that
distance. This is way too close for Americans, so we naturally step back. Then
they will step forward, and so on. This can make communication uneasy. It
also does not start your relationship on a very positive note.
Eye contact is another difference to be aware of. Americans equate
strong, direct eye contact with honesty and respect. Many Asians and Native Americans, however, look down, avoiding direct eye contact as a sign of
respect for you. This can be uncomfortable for people from this country, so
we try to catch their eye. The solution is simple: look down.
Meanwhile, Middle Eastern people and some Hispanics often use
strong eye contact. People from these groups may make Americans somewhat uncomfortable with their intensity. The best advice? Just get used to it.
LEARN TO DICKER
Many new immigrants come from countries where negotiating is a
way of life. In America, were used to paying full price for nearly everything
13668-2_EATON_COLE_Half_Pg.indd 1
8/13/15 3:27 PM
Maybe it is!
except cars and houses. This puts us at a disadvantage when dealing with
people from a culture where haggling over everything from clothes to food
is the norm. If you have several customers from such cultures, you may want
to enroll in a negotiating class!
Contracts are also not the same around the world. In the United States,
we put everything we agree upon in detailed writing. Signing a contract puts
an end to all negotiations. In many other countries, however, signing a contract begins the bargaining process.
Minorities in America are growing at an astounding rate.
These consumers can be an increased source of income for companies
that are willing to adjust, just a little, to make people from other cultures
more comfortable doing business with them.

Alberta
ome contractors flinch at the prospect of tackling difficult, highrisk/high-reward projects. Others enthusiastically embrace them.
Canessco Services Inc., an industrial cleaning and multifaceted
wastewater services company in Edmonton, Alberta, falls squarely in the
latter category.
Its not that company officials are foolhardy. Theyre just confident,
which stems from operating a fleet of reliable and powerful equipment
and assembling a group of operators with more than 130 years of collective experience. This can-do attitude, combined with customer-centric
employees, explains how Canessco has thrived for 63 years and why it
has significantly expanded its service offerings during that time.
We do a lot of work that no one else wants to do, says Nathan Gagnier, operations manager at Canessco. The harder the jobs are, the more
interested we are in doing them. And personally, I love a good challenge.
Thats exactly what Gagnier faced when a customer asked Canessco to clean out six 1,600-foot-long runs of 4-inch-diameter conduit that
carry power lines under the North Saskatchewan River to a large water
treatment plant. Plant officials had to install new electrical cables in the
conduits, which first necessitated cleaning debris, such as sand and silt,
that had collected in the lines.
(continued)
To access the conduit lines, crews had to climb down inside two vaults,
one on each side of the river; one vault was 125 feet deep and another 250
feet deep. The conduit lines end in these vaults, which are like manholes
in sewer lines, where workers can splice cables and do repairs, Gagnier
explains. We used four 600-foot-long sections of hose to clean each conduit line.
It was a doozy, he says of the project. It took us three days to do all six
runs. Safety and communications were huge factors. To get in the vaults,
we had to use confined-space entry procedures. Workers inserted hose all
the way to the other end of each conduit run, then jetted in reverse, pulling
debris toward them. The silt and water then drained into a sump, one on
the bottom of each vault. From there, vacuum trucks sucked up the debris,
Gagnier explains.

Canessco truck operators also like to test the limits of equipment. If the
trucks can do it, well do it, Gagnier says. Ive told manufacturers what we
can do with their truck, and they say it cant do that. I tell them, Sure it can.
HUMBle BeGiNNiNGS
Canessco was founded in 1952 (the name is an abbreviated mash-up
of Canadian Inductor Sales Service Co.). Gagniers grandfather, Peter Fairbridge, bought the company in 1974, and its been owned by the Fairbridge
family ever since. The current owners are Mark Fairbridge and Michele Gagnier, Nathan Gagniers uncle and mother.
When Fairbridge bought the company, it focused primarily on sewer
cleaning. But services expanded dramatically, especially during the last decade. In addition to sewer and industrial cleaning, the company now tackles
septic and grease-trap cleaning, pipeline inspections and hydroexcavating.

Gagnier does not see significant growth ahead, but thats by design, not
for lack of opportunity.
We dont want to get too big, he says. We dont want to employ 50
people and run 20 trucks. Were pretty happy where we are. We seem to do a
little better each year revenue-wise, but we dont want to get so big that we
can no longer provide quality service.

and a 2014 Freightliner built out by Cusco

for cleaning sumps, tanks, holding tanks and septic tanks, Gagnier says.
To service facilities where access is more limited, such as sumps in underground parking lots, the company bought a 2000 Ford F-450 that carries
a 500-gallon steel tank made by Westech and relies on a 320 cfm pump from
Fruitland Manufacturing.
For smaller drain-cleaning jobs, the company owns a RIDGID portable water jetter (3 gpm at 1,800 psi), capable of cleaning 1- to 4-inchdiameter lines. Last year, Canessco also invested in an IBAK mainline
tractor camera made by RapidView LLC. Its capable of inspecting pipes
ranging from 6 to 42 inches in diameter, and uses pipe-assessment and
pipe-coding software made by PipeLogix Inc. The company also owns a
RIDGID SeeSnake pipeline inspection system for televising lines from 2
1/2 to 6 inches in diameter.

Drainfield Debris
Question: Has anyone dug into older drainfield lines to repair or add
new lines only to find chambers filled halfway with silt or sand? is this a
problem only in sandy soils? How does it get there? Will fabric cover help?
AnsWeRs: Are you sure its sand and not carryover/sludge from the tank
that has dried out? If it is sand, I would assume that not enough hay or no
fabric was used over the trenches. How old is the system? What state is it
installed in? Just wondering if freeze/thaw is causing a problem.
Ive run into several systems that have filled with sand. Im in Florida
where the soil is very sandy. When the chambers are installed without cloth,
the sand flows through the louvers on the sides.
We are in northeast Kansas. We sell a lot of chambers to our installers.
We also offer filter fabric, which is required in some of the counties around
us. I am also seeing washed river rock used on top of chambers and I have
also seen straw used. In sandy soils, you definitely need something to block
off the fine silt or sand.
TM
54
Central Virginia has a lot of residual soils with high clay content, and
we have witnessed not only mounds of fine sediments in the trenches but
have often seen the louvers sealed up by fine clay sediments from backfill.
As far as Ive seen, the companies have not altered their installation
guidance to address leaching fines in anything but sandy soils. Im dealing
with two failures with reduced footprint systems. Both are about 10 years
old.

Check out the latest advice about piling up a rainy day fund and where you should keep it By Erik Gunn
66
SAFE KEEPING
That leads us to the second big question about reserves where do you
keep them?
Standard advice has always been to keep it in an ordinary, federally insured savings account. Financial experts are revising that advice in this day
when savings interest rates are minuscule to nonexistent.
Schultz says that for the first three months worth of cash, the bank is
convenient, easy and safe. So stick with that.
But the further out on the horizon you go, the more you can consider
some other options. Of course, youre not going to stash your emergency
reserves in a high-risk stock fund

factor into my decision.
Its true that there have been
Rob Schultz worries in recent years about increased risk in municipal bonds
either sudden reductions in interest rates or even total default. While those
risks remain relatively low, youll need to get advice that is as unbiased as
possible in making the right selection.
We use very short-duration funds on the lower return end, but also
with less interest rate risk, Schultz says. The default risk is negligible.
EASY ACCESS
In the end, though, the easiest answer to the reserves question is probably the safest: Keep as much as you can, up to perhaps a years worth of
expenses. And keep the funds where you can get at them easily and where
your risk of losing the money is minuscule to nonexistent.
That alone should help you sleep better at night, so in the morning
youre ready to make more money and put more aside as you grow your
business.

Septic service professionals should be strong advocates against the use of drainfield-damaging
microbeads in personal care products By Jim Anderson, Ph.D.
QUESTION: Why care about something like plastic microbeads?
ANSWER: The starting point in any discussion about the life span and
effectiveness of individual sewage treatment systems is making sure effluent
coming out of the septic tank does not exceed about 160 mg/L BOD and 60
mg/L suspended solids. When BOD levels are consistently above 160 mg/L
and certainly over 200 mg/L, it is common to recommend additional pretreatment to reduce the levels before discharge to the soil for final treatment
and dispersal. This keeps biomat development in check and within the longterm acceptance rate parameters for soil. At these levels, it is assumed with
proper maintenance (septic tank cleaned at regular intervals, excess water
avoided, etc.) the system will last indefinitely.
One of the primary purposes of these limits other than initial treatment through anaerobic digestion in the tank is to hold the larger solids in
the tank. This involves allowing time for particles that are heavier than water
to settle, forming the sludge layer in the bottom of the tank and keeping the
floating solids soap scum and grease in the tank for cleaning. Effluent
passed on to the soil treatment area should come from the clear zone in the
tank. Having proper baffles along with regular cleaning ensures that the tank
will provide this function.
To make sure that larger solids are not reaching the soil treatment area,
most states have started requiring installation of an effluent screen. This
screen promotes regular cleaning, and if there is an upset in the tank, the
solids are captured and plug the screen instead of passing through and plugging the soil treatment area. This is all good practice, and it works.
SUSPENDED SOLIDS
However, we need to have another discussion about solids those that
remain suspended and are small enough to move readily through the screen
and into the soil treatment area. If these solids are small pieces of organic
material, they will break down or be consumed in the soil. However, if they
are inert particles such as clay soil particles or plastics or other synthetic materials, they will not break down in the soil environment and will plug the
soil pores, permanently reducing the ability of the soil to accept septic tank
effluent. There is no fix when this happens other than replacement.
When septic service professionals get together, talk often turns to situations where a system is having problems and the homeowner is using certain
cleaning products or bath oils or a variety of other products. The conclusion
is that this is somehow affecting the system, but most of it is anecdotal and
without a lot of research to back it up. Nevertheless, we encourage homeowners to not use excessive amounts of soap or cleaning products.
Enter the microbeads: small plastic pellets used in personal care products such as hand soap, exfoliating scrubs and toothpaste. When these prod-

Adapting to new government regulations, coping with disposal issues draws wastewater
professionals together at the Ontario Association of Sewage Industry Services By Doug Day
ormed in October 1991, the Ontario Sewage and Liquid Waste Carriers
Association was originally for pumpers and haulers in the Canadian
province. In 1998, the group expanded its focus to include installers
and the portable sanitation industry, changing its name to OASIS, the Ontario Association of Sewage Industry Services.
As OASIS celebrates its 25th anniversary at its annual conference in October, Chris Aitkin is just starting his second year as the groups president,
carrying on the legacy of his familys business, Rankins Septic Tank Pumping and Environment Services. His father, Jim, became involved in the group
shortly after its inception and also served as president of the organization, which now has about 250
member companies. Chris joined the board in 2008
when his father became ill.

that somebody didnt pick up the phone and ask what they could do to help.
The day after my father died in 2012, all the guys from my area and at
least five from across the province contacted me and asked what I needed to
get through the next couple of days. There are many instances of our members sending jobs to each other and working together in times of need. Thats
the kind of people we have as members and the camaraderie we have.
One of the most important things to OASIS is family. You can watch
the generations change as the younger ones move up and start bearing the
brunt of the workload, the fathers teaching their sons and daughters, and
then the children teaching their parents new technologies and better ways.
What do you see as the big issues in the future?
Aitkin: With the provincial government, its always been the goal to limit land application. Doing away with it is not a reality. Wed all love to dispose
at a sewage treatment plant, but we dont all have access to one. There are
some areas of the province where plants dont have the ability to take on that
much sewage from septic tanks, so land application is the only alternative.
Some people use lagoons; some have put in their own treatment facilities
with reed beds or other technology.
We work with government to get receiving stations put in when they
build new wastewater treatment plants. Its just a matter of finding that happy medium and what is feasible. Its the same as in the United States. Some
areas are very good at disposal and they provide you a cost-effective way
to dispose of the sewage. Some have outlawed land application, but if they
provide me an economical way to dispose of it, I dont mind.
Disposal is always going to be an issue, always has been. Its why this organization was brought to life 25 years ago and we keep plugging along and
succeeding in keeping things moving and looking for better ways to do it.

Self-contained, fluShing
reStroom trailerS made for
Short-term, mobile uSe
The foot-flushing RV-style restroom trailer from Tow-Let Manufacturing includes urinal, hand-wash sink, soap, towel and tissue dispensers with six-bulb LED
solar-powered interior and exterior lighting. Mounted on a DOT trailer, the PolyJohn
restroom, available in an assortment of colors, has a 50-gallon waste tank with
washout port and 30-gallon freshwater aluminum tank.
Moving a portable restroom for a rental company is time-consuming and
certainly not cost-effective for people who are on the go all the time, like tree trimming and roofing companies, says Jay Poust, inventor of the Tow-Let portable
restroom trailer. Theyre on a roof one day and the next day theyre on a different
roof. They need a portable restroom, but theyre not going to pay a company $150
or whatever to have it there for a day. I thought if they had a unit that they could
pull behind a truck, wouldnt that be a great idea?
Each flush uses about 2 pints of water (about 100 flushes per fill). The lockable
rear-mounted storage box includes pump, charging system, hose and room for
supplies. The waste tank has a sloping bottom with side-mounted dump valve.
The biggest advantage to the consumer is they dont have to look at human
waste, Poust says. Its just like a toilet in their house. Its a functional restroom.
The trailer is 150 inches long, 90 inches wide, 104.6 inches to the top of the
restroom and about 9 inches above the ground. Trailers have a 2-inch ball hitch for
towing and feature rear stabilizers, steps, handrails and a front jack.
Other models include the Twin with two flushing units on one trailer for larger
work crews and special events (260 gallons waste, 210 gallons freshwater) and
a Standard non-flushing restroom. The Low-Ryder trailer, available with or without
restroom, can be built to specific needs and customized in company colors. The
trailer can accommodate any brand of restroom.
Mobility is what makes this product the innovation that it is, says owner Ivan
Craig. You can pick them up and go from site to site quickly and easily without
having to worry about a mess. You just pull up to an RV dumpsite and empty the
refuse tank. 712/623-4007; www.tow-let.com.
