We plan on starting the 2021 pump-out program as usual at the end of June. Additional covid procedures will result in the pump-outs running a bit slower. We are changing to a flexible schedule in order to keep up. Please give yourself plenty of time when requesting a pump-out. Hopefully we will be able to add more "pump-out hours" each week.
We are still trying to find a location to install a land based self service pump-out station. Hopefully this will come to fruition at some point in the near future. The pump-out boat system was implemented in Fall River over 20 years ago when there were 100+/- boats docked here. Currently we have over 500+/- boats at the (4) marinas and mooring field, and it is extremely difficult to meet the demand with this antiquated system. If you go away for the weekend, please try to use the public pump station at the facility before you return home. This would greatly help to relieve some of the weekly volume of the pump-out boat.
We will continue to provide our pump out service on Tuesday and Thursday at a reasonable time in the morning.
Days of the week and times may fluctuate based on weather conditions and safety as deemed appropriate by the Harbor Master.
Please be assured that we will do our absolute best to provide an excellent level of service during the 2021 season.
Pump-outs are provided as a free service from the Fall River Harbormaster Department.
