Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
70 Mesa Avenue
Garfield County, Colorado
Brent and Cara,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system
(OWTS) on March 28, 2014 for the subject property. Lining of the ditch was verified on May 5, 2014.
Valley Precast out of Buena Vista did start-up on the pump. PifCo installed the system.
The installation included a new 1000-gallon, two-compartment Valley Precast concrete septic tank
with an Orenco® Biotube Pump Vault in the second compartment of the septic tank. There is an
effluent filter inside the second compartment of the septic tank. This filter must be cleaned
annually, or as needed.
Effluent is pressure dosed to three rows of eight Eljen® A42 GSF Modlues. Six inches of concrete
sand were placed below the modules.
The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee
of workmanship and/or parts and materials. ALL SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified if changes
are made to the OW TS in the future. Any additional OWTS construction must be according to the
county regulations.
LIMITS:
Observations are limited to components that are visible at the time of the inspection. The installer
must have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the
county in which they are working. The quality of the installation is dependent of the expertise of the
installer, soil type, and weather conditions.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC Reviewed By:
