Thank you for helping us name the City of Ridgefield Vacuum Truck!

A Vacuum Truck or Vac Truck, is a truck with a tank and a pump. The truck pumps liquid and debris into the tank where it can then be transported to a treatment facility. The City of Ridgefield Vac Truck was in need of a name, and now it has one, Lightning McClean!

About the Vac Truck

The City’s Vac Truck is one of the most important tools the workers use to maintain the storm water system. It is used to remove debris from catch basins, manholes, and sediment traps. When the truck is full, the maintenance crew drives the truck to a treatment facility in Vancouver where the debris is separated from the water and disposed.

The City’s Vac Truck also has the ability to flush and clean storm water lines/pipes. The large hose on the reel on the front of the truck can be inserted into a clogged pipe and high pressure water is forced into the pipe, clearing the debris and restoring flow.
