Why do I have to send you the pump-out receipt? Can't the company that did the work provide you with the receipt?

The ordinance places that responsibility specifically upon the property owner. Some pump-out firms will do this as a courtesy if asked. However, the responsibility to provide proof of compliance still remains the property owner.
