OWTS Permit #: SEPT-9134
September 4, 2025
On July 8, 2025, we visited the residence at 965 Westbank Road, Parcel Number # 218535301015 near
Glenwood Springs in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit #
SEPT-9134 (concurrent with Building Permit BLRE-9133). At the time of our site visit, the homeowner had
encased the water line for the minimum required setback where it encroached on the sewer line, had installed
the new sewer line, the new 1,060-gallon two-compartment septic tank with an effluent filter in the outlet tee,
the new effluent line, distribution box, and the Soil Treatment Area (STA). The new STA was comprised of
three gravelless chamber trenches, each trench consisting of 5 ‘Quick 4’ chambers per trench (15 chambers
total) for a total STA of 180 ft2. At the time of the inspection, the sewer line had a slope of <1% and a large
portion of it had been backfilled, the effluent filter was installed in an inlet tee, the septic tank was within the 5 ft
required setback to the STA, and flow equalizers and inspection ports had not been installed. Garfield County
Public Health performed a follow up inspection on July 9, 2025 and confirmed that these items had been
resolved per Garfield County OWTS Regulation 43. We received an as-built drawing of the constructed system
and a letter certifying that the system was constructed in compliance with the permitted design from the OWTS
designer dated August 4, 2025. In our opinion, this system was installed in general conformance with Garfield
County OWTS Regulations. No further action or review from Garfield County Environmental Health is required
regarding this permit.
