RECOMMENDATIONS TO OWNER: 1. The connector for the UV bulb was burnt up when I arrived and the alarm was
sounding. 2. Replaced UV bulb during visit. 3. The recirculation pod is still due for pumping. 4. The water level in the
septic tank was several inches below the outlet pipe indicating that the septic tank may be leaking. Recommend
having a leak test done to evaluate whether the tank is in fact leaking.
