Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
6598 Hwy 82
Garfield County, Colorado
Permit Number SEPT-09-17-4944
Tony,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OW TS)
on November 16 and 17, 2017 for the subject property. Holmes Excavation installed the system.
The installation included a new 1000-gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank with an effluent filter
installed on the outlet tee of the septic tank. This filter must be cleaned annually, or as needed. The
septic tank manhole lids were brought to grade with risers.
The soil treatment area (STA) consists of four rows of 7 ‘Quick 4’ Infiltrator® chambers, connected with a
level manifold, for a total area of 336 square feet of infiltrative area. Inspection ports were installed in
each corner of the bed. We recommend installing a swale around the STA as a path for drainage.
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:
