Default Pump out stations (cost)??

The pump out pump unit has a coin slot, like the old pinball machines and
takes 8 quarters ($2). Not bad considering that the commercial marina dock,
30 miles away charges $6 for a pump out.


The whole deal sounds like a bargain to me, and a process that could
easily be explained in international symbols on a very simple sign. I
normally expect to pay CDN$8 (the bargain club member's fee) to CDN$15
or so for a pump out in eastern Lake Ontario.

It may be different economics in salt water where dumping it in the
water is a legal alternative not too far out of many harbours.

[PortaPottie process confusing and "expensive"]

Has anyone come across a system/setup like this?? How would you recommend
that this manager correct his situation??


Good signage and education.
