Our Company
Best Septic was originally owned and operated by Neil E. Heath, who took his one small truck out to customer's houses,
told jokes while giving quality service, then deposited the sludge on pastures that local ranchers begged him to do for fertilization.
It didn't take long, though, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality came along and said, "You can't do
that." O-kay. So he adapted and purchased some
land for his state regulated Transfer Station. The sludge he pumped from a customer's system was then kept in a holding
tank until it could be transported to a state regulated final destination. [THIS IS WHY ALL LICENSED COMPANIES
CHARGE MORE THAN FLY-BY-NIGHTS--BECAUSE WE ARE DOING IT RIGHT! IF ANOTHER COMPANY DOES IT CHEAPLY, THEY MAY
BE DISPOSING OF THE SLUDGE ILLEGALLY, YOU MAY NOT GET QUALITY SERVICE, AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT MIGHT FINE YOU!]
Even since Neil's death, we still do it this way, except now there are more TECQ rules and regulations for us to follow.
Now Brad has a Class "B" Municipal Solid Waste Operator's license, Kim has a Class "A" license and a Class "B" license
[Texas Administrative Code changes required the addition of the 2nd], and Chris also has a Class "B" license. This is
so we can ensure the safety of the environment, which really means public safety. World population is increasing exponentially,
and we do care about keeping our planet's environment as clean as possible.
Our Transfer Station is now being upgraded to meet state regulations. This upgrade has cost us a lot of money
that we wanted to spend on a new truck years ago, but the TECQ has mandated this. We have just now been able
to get that new truck in order to better service our community.
