What is the Grey Water Holding Tank Request? 🚰♻️

The Gray Water Holding Tank Request system provides staff departments with holding tanks for managing wastewater from sinks and showers. If your team is setting up a potable water system, you’ll also need to submit a Grey Water Holding Tank Request to ensure proper drainage and disposal.

This request process allows departments to:

✅ Reserve a 250-gallon grey water holding tank for approved plumbing setups

✅ Be automatically placed on the grey water pumping schedule upon approval

✅ Indicate expected water usage to help assess the appropriate pump-out schedule

💧 Important Notes

These are 250-gallon tanks. If you require something different, please contact business.services@burningman.org to discuss your needs. All requests are subject to availability, approval, and placement guidelines. Departments receiving tanks are responsible for ensuring proper use and preventing overflows.
