Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
7213 CR 100
Garfield County, Colorado
Permit Number SEPT-04-17-4685
Tim,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS)
on October 17, 2018 for the subject property. You, the property owner, installed the system.
The OWTS design is based on 5-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 600 GPD was
used.
The installation included a 1500-gallon, two-compartment Valley Precast septic tank with an effluent
screen on the outlet tee. This filter must be cleaned annually, or as needed. Effluent gravity flows to
a distribution box, which is accessible from grade. Flow equalizers, or similar product, were not installed
at the time of our inspection, but noted this and requested they be installed.
Effluent is distributed to five gravelless chamber trenches. Each trench has 14 ‘Quick 4’ Infiltrator®
chambers for a total of 70 chambers and 840 square feet of infiltrative area. There was at least 6-feet of
undisturbed soil between each trench. Inspection ports were installed at both the beginning and end of
each trench. Ports may be cut to grade and covered with a sprinkler or valve box for access.
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 OWTS 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,
