Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
2123 Canyon Creek Road
Garfield County, Colorado
Permit Number SEPT -10-18-5545
ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS)
on April 9, 2019 for the subject property. The Parcel ID of the property is 2123-242-00-017. You, the
property owner, installed the system.
The system installation included a poly Infiltrator® 1000 -gallon, two-compartment septic tank with an
effluent filter on the outlet tee. This filter must be cleaned annually, or as needed. Risers bring the
manhole lids to grade for access. If more than one riser is added to the septic tank, an extension handle
must be installed on the effluent filter.
Effluent gravity flows to a manifolded chamber bed consisting of four rows of 11 'ARC' ADS chambers for
a total of 660 square feet of infiltrative area. Inspection ports were added to each corner of the bed and
may be covered with sprinkler boxes for access.
Movies were provided during installation, but we were unable to convert these to photographs.
Photographs below were taken during our April 9, 2019 visit. At the time of our inspection, it appeared
the tank had settled slightly causing the inlet pipe to be kinked. This pipe was excavated and replaced
with proper fall.
A ranch hydrant was observed near the area STA. Because the hydrant is frost -free, there is an opening
in the line for drainage. We recommend this hydrant be relocated at least 25 -feet from the STA to
eliminate the possibility of contamination.
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
