Washington State Pollution Liability Insurance

Since January 1, 1996 Washington State's Pollution Liability Agency (PLIA) has been offering pollution liability insurance for heating oil tanks that provide space heating for homes, small businesses, and churches. This program provides up to $60,000 coverage for cleanup of contamination in case of leak or spill. This program is being funded by all Washington State heating oil dealers. We are proud to have a part in this fine program.
Pollution liability insurance will be provided for all active heating oil tanks; underground, basement, or above ground. Heating oil tanks that are no longer in use, or tanks solely used for industrial process or generation of electrical energy will not be covered.
A heating oil tank owner who wishes to participate in this program must register their tank with PLIA. There is no cost to the homeowner for this insurance, the cost is paid by your heating oil dealer.
