Does KDT provide gray water trucks?
Gray Water Trucks (Type 1–4) & Wastewater Haul-Off

- Type 1
- 4,000+ gal
- Type 2
- 2,500–3,999 gal
- Type 3
- 1,000–2,499 gal
- Type 4

- Method of hire

- Disposal
- Permitted facility; disposal fees reimbursed unless the incident provides a site
Every shower, sink, kitchen and laundry unit makes gray water, and every restroom and portable toilet makes black water. None of it can go on the ground. A camp needs somewhere to hold it and trucks to haul it away before the tanks fill.
On wildfire, the resource is the Gray Water Truck (Tender), run with an operator and typed by tank size like the potable trucks: Type 1 holds 4,000+ gallons, Type 2 2,500–3,999, Type 3 1,000–2,499 and Type 4 400–999. It pumps out wash station units, bladder bags and other holding tanks in camp, using dedicated gray-water hoses (100+ ft, labeled at each end) that are never used for black water. KDT covers its own permit fees, and disposal fees are reimbursed unless the incident provides a disposal site.
KDT runs gray water trucks on a schedule and hauls to a permitted disposal or treatment facility, keeping records. On hurricane, spill and hazmat sites we also set large holding tanks and frac tanks, pump septic systems that are overwhelmed at shelters, fairgrounds or schools, and service kitchen grease traps.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide gray water trucks?
Yes. We supply Type 1 to Type 4 gray water trucks with operators, pump out camp units on a schedule, and haul the wastewater to a permitted facility.
What are the gray water truck types?
They're typed by tank size, the same as potable trucks: Type 1 is 4,000+ gallons, Type 2 is 2,500–3,999, Type 3 is 1,000–2,499 and Type 4 is 400–999.
Can gray water be discharged on the ground at camp?
Generally no. Gray water from showers, kitchens and laundry carries soap, grease and bacteria, so we hold and haul it as state and local rules require.
Do you pump septic systems and portable toilets too?
Yes. Black water goes in separate equipment, never through gray-water hoses, and on hurricane and flood responses we pump overwhelmed septic systems at shelters and other facilities.
