When an underground tank or pipe leaks, the cleanup can cost tens of thousands of dollars and, if your homeowner's insurance policy contains a "pollution exclusion" clause-which many do-you could get stuck with the bill. If you live in one of the three delegated counties: Nassau, Suffolk, or Westchester, you are encouraged to contact the appropriate county Department of Health agency to determine whether such smaller heating oil tanks are regulated.Įven if your heating oil tank is unregulated, a leak could be very unfortunate, not only for the environment, but for your pocketbook, too. However, some delegated counties have regulations that do apply.
