Pump-Out Boat

***UPDATE***

The pump out boat will be out of service for the 2025 boating season beginning 10/13/25. The self service pump station at town landing will be operational through Thursday 10/16/25.

Pump-out services are provided free of charge under the Clean Vessel Act to recreational boaters. The boat is operational from roughly May 20 through October 10. You do not need to be present for your boat to be pumped-out as long as the waste cap is accessible. Vessels in slips can only be pumped out if there is an open slip next to the boat, and the waste cap is safely accessible. 

The pump-out boat does not always get underway in inclement weather.
