Dunnellon is at the far west of Marion County, where the Rainbow and Withlacoochee rivers meet, and the crew covers it along with Rainbow Springs, Rainbow Lakes Estates and the lots along County Road 484. Pump-outs, inspections and repairs are the same as anywhere in the county; what differs is the permit side.
Rainbow Springs is a protected spring and the land around Dunnellon drains straight to it, so on lots of one acre or less without sewer inside its basin management action plan area, state law allows only an enhanced nutrient-reducing system for a new install, and the permit office decides how that applies to a failed field. The crew raises that on the first call so the budget is right before the permit is pulled.
Older Dunnellon houses near the river often have shallow tanks in wet ground; the crew checks for groundwater in the tank at every pump-out, because a tank that fills with groundwater is a tank that needs sealing or replacing.

About Dunnellon
Dunnellon is a small city at the confluence of the Rainbow and Withlacoochee rivers on the Marion-Citrus county line, southwest of Ocala. Rainbow Springs State Park sits just north of town, and the springs run is the reason the area's septic rules are stricter than most of Florida.
