Quakertown sits at the center of Upper Bucks, and the septic rules change once you cross a township line. A house a mile outside the borough can follow a completely different pumping schedule from its neighbor in the next township. This page covers what we've verified for the Quakertown area and what to check before you book.

Pumping Rules Around Quakertown

Milford Township. Milford's on-lot sewage ordinance (Ordinance No. 104) requires the tank to be cleaned every five years, or sooner if an inspection finds solids or scum filling more than one third of the tank's liquid depth. The pump-out receipt goes to the township within 30 days. If a problem turns up, repairs are due within 60 days under a Bucks County Health Department permit. Milford also requires proof of compliance before it issues a use and occupancy permit when a septic-served home is sold or rented. That matters if you're listing a house.

Richland Township. Richland Township is partly on BCWSA sewer, so many homes outside the sewered areas still rely on on-lot systems. More on Richland Township and Richlandtown.

Quakertown Borough. Many homes inside the borough are on public sewer. If you're not sure which you have, look for a sewer charge on your utility bill or ask the borough.

Quakertown-Area Septic FAQ

I'm in Milford Township. Is every three years too often?

Milford's minimum is five years, but a busy household or a small tank may need pumping sooner. The ordinance also requires cleaning whenever solids or scum pass one third of the tank depth.

I'm selling a home in Milford. What do I need?

Proof that you've complied with the township's septic ordinance, before the use and occupancy permit is issued. Plan the pump-out or inspection early. See our inspection page.

Who handles septic permits and malfunction complaints?

The Bucks County Health Department (215-345-3318) permits septic repairs, licenses pumping vehicles and investigates malfunctioning systems.

Is there financing for a failing system?

PENNVEST and the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency offer a homeowner septic loan program for repairing or replacing on-lot systems. Check the program's eligibility rules.
