Get up to $3,000 to replace your old, underground storage tank.
Homeowners are finally getting help for a problem the oil heat industry has long focused on : oil, buried oil tanks.
A tank is no different thsn a roof, a driverway or other parts of your home that need to be tended to. After a period of time, you need to replace old and worn-out structures with something that's new and modern.
Now, thanks to a new [New Jersey] state program, homeowners can apply for grants, which, in many cases, fully cover the cost of replacing a monleaking, underground oil tank.
If, in the process of removing your old tank, a leak is found, money may be available through the NJ
Department of Environmental Protection.
How the program works:
The state will give you up to $3,000 to help you remove your buried tank and replace it with a modern, environmentally sound tank.
This tank replacement program came about because of a new state law that channels business tax receipts to environmental causes. Removing underground oil tanks -- before they leak --- falls into this category.
Today's underground tanks are protected against corrosian, making them worry free. Aboveground options include installation of a modern, clean tank in your basement, backyard, garage or utility room.
As with all government grant programs, there is paparwork to be filled out. Your local Oil heat dealer will be happy to help you with this.
