Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
6195 CR 109
Garfield County, Colorado
Permit Number SEPT -11-12-2700
Andrew,
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS)
on many different occasions throughout the years, including December 10, 2012, August 4, 2015, March
22, 2016, and February 26, 2018. You, the property owner, installed the system based on design
specifications from this office dated March 8, 2010. This permit has remained open through the years
based on progress of the construction of your residence, in cooperation with Garfield County Building
Department.
The installation included a new 1000 -gallon, two-compartment concrete septic tank with an Orenco®
effluent filter on the outlet tee. This filter must be cleaned annually, or as needed. An additional 500 -
gallon poly `Norwesco' septic tank with a pumping system was also installed. The alarm for the pumping
system is located near the northwest corner of the residence, within line of sight of the septic tanks. Both
septic tanks have manhole lids that are brought to grade with risers.
Effluent is pumped via a 2 -inch diameter pump line to a gravelless chamber bed with seven rows of 8
'ARC 36' chambers. This bed is pressurized through 1.5 -inch diameter laterals with '/4" orifices placed
3.5 -feet on center. Laterals were suspended with zip ties to the top of the chambers and connected with
a 1.5" diameter level manifold.
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

Do Your Part, Be SepticSmart:
The Do's and Don'ts of Your Septic System
Learn these simple steps to protect your home, health, environment and property value:
septicsmart
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Do:
• Have your system inspected (in general) every three years by a licensed contractor
and have the tank pumped, when necessary, generally every three to five years.
Don't:
• Pour cooking grease or oil down the
sink or toilet.
• Rinse coffee grounds into the sink.
• Pour household chemicals down the
sink or flush them.
Do:
• Eliminate or limit the use of a garbage
disposal.
• Properly dispose of coffee grounds a
food.
• Put grease in a container to harden
before discarding in the trash.
Don't:
• Flush non -degradable products or
chemicals, such as feminine hygiene
products, condoms, dental floss,
diapers, cigarette butts, cat litter, paper
towels, pharmaceuticals.
Do:
• Dispose of these items in the trash can!
Don't:
• Park or drive on your drainfield. The
weight can damage the drain lines.
• Plant trees or shrubs too close to your
drainfield, roots can grow into your
system and clog it.
Do:
• Consult a septic service professional to
advise you of the proper distance for
planting trees and shrubs, depending on
your septic tank location.
Don't
• Concentrate your water use by using
your dishwasher, shower, washing
machine, and toilet at the same time.
All that extra water can really strain
your septic system.
Do:
• Stagger the use of water -generating
appliances. This can be helpful
especially if your system has not been
pumped in a long time.
• Become more water efficient by fixing
plumbing leaks and consider installing
bathroom and kitchen faucet aerators
and water -efficient products.
