Your client needs to contact an Engineer and work with them.
Sample results would also be needed to determine if the sand filter is working according to design. The samples should have been pulled annually.
Are there any results available? We have a 2022 invoice but results are not in the file. Nothing in the file for 2023.
The Division can not make such a recommendation. However, an Engineer will be needed with or without the repair. An Engineer will need to verify
the repair will not weaken the tank and if they believe the sand filter can be salvaged. If no to these questions they will be needed to design anew
facility.
