Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
TBD Cattle Creek Road
Lot 1, Velasquez Subdivision
Garfield County, Colorado
Permit Number SEPT-04-17-4668
Ross and Rob,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OW TS)
on November 18 and December 8, 2017 for the subject property. You, the property owners, installed the
system.
Distances to the well on the adjoining property to the east, ditch to the west, and fire suppression stank
were verified as meeting the minimum setbacks required by county regulation.
The installation included a sewer line exiting the residence with a minimum 2% fall and double sweep
clean out. A 1000-gallon, two-compartment Infiltrator® poly septic tank with an effluent filter on the outlet
tee was installed. This filter must be cleaned annually, or as needed.
Effluent gravity flows to a distribution box, and then to two gravelless chamber beds. The distribution box
is accessible from grade. Each chamber bed consists of 3 rows of 7 ‘ARC 36’ chambers connected with a
level manifold, for a total area of 630 square feet of infiltrative area. Inspection ports were installed in
each corner of each bed. Ports may be cut to grade and placed in sprinkler boxes 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,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC Reviewed By:
