Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
160 Springridge Drive
Garfield County, Colorado
Permit Number SEPT-3-15-3559
Terry and Heidi,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS)
on June 24, 2015 for the subject property. Silt Mesa Excavating installed the system.
The installation included a new 1250-gallon, two-compartment Precast Concepts concrete septic tank
with an effluent filter on the outlet tee. This filter must be cleaned annually, or as needed.
Effluent gravity flows to a distribution box, accessible from grade, and then to four gravelless chamber
trenches. Each trench consists of 22 ‘Quick 4’ Infiltrator® chambers for a total of 88 chambers and 1056
square feet of infiltrative area. Six-feet of undisturbed soil was present between each trench. Inspection
ports were installed on both the beginning and end of each trench.
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:
