OWTS Permit #: SEPT-8228
March 5, 2025
On October 31, 2023, Garfield County Public Health (GCPH) staff visited the site of the residence at 182
Darrow Street near Glenwood Springs in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation
pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT-8228. At the time of our site visit, the contractor had installed the new
sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the residence, the new concrete 2,000-gallon two-compartment septic
tank with a high-head pump in the second compartment of the tank, the new pump line, the Automatic
Distributing Valve (ADV), and the 936 ft2 Soil Treatment Area (STA). The septic tank was installed level with
access to the tank brought to grade. The ADV was installed at the high point of the OWTS. The STA consisted
of three 12 feet wide by 26 feet long by 2 feet deep unlined sand filter constructed with secondary sand
media. Additionally, inspection ports were present at each corner of the bed. In our opinion, this system was
installed in general conformance with Garfield County OWTS Regulations. Additionally, we received an
installation observation letter and As-Built drawing from the system designer (dated May 1, 2023) indicating
the OWTS was installed in general conformance with the permitted design. No further action or review from
Garfield County Environmental Health is required regarding this permit.
