It is illegal to discharge untreated sewage anywhere within the three-mile territorial limit of the United States. In Washington, this includes all of Puget Sound. Use of US Coast Guard approved Type I and Type II Marine Sanitation Devices is permitted; however, these do not treat waste to the same standard as land-based treatment. Please avoid use of these devices in shallow water, near shellfish beds and in marina basins.
The best option is to use a holding tank or porta-potty, also known as Type III MSDs.The nearest public pumpouts and porta-potty dump stations are listed below. These pump outs are free of charge, open 24 hours/day.
