GROTTOES, Va. (ROCKTOWN NOW) – The Town of Grottoes is actively working to pump septic tanks throughout the town.

If residents see the Town of Grottoes truck or a Cline’s pumping truck around their property, that is the reason.

According to a post on the town’s Facebook page, if a yard is fenced in or if there are dogs, town officials may leave a tag asking residents to call them to arrange a day for pumping.

Officials say that unless they need to access the property and make entry arrangements, there is no need to call the Town Hall as they follow a directive regarding who is being pumped on a specific week.
