Ms. Schmidt and I discussed the system and the maintenance requirements. To properly maintain the system, and to bring the system into compliance with the permit, the owners should: 1) Complete and submit the enclosed Change of Ownership form, 2) Have the septic tank checked and pumped if the solids level is found to be more than 1/3 of the liquid depth in any compartment, 3) Purchase wastewater chlorine tabs and caps for the chlorination tubes, 4) and find, and maintain access to, the effluent pipe.

Chlorination tablets must be placed within the tubes for the system to effectively treat the wastewater prior to discharge. Make sure the chlorination tablets are certified for wastewater use. Wastewater tablets are not the same as those used for swimming pools. The permittee should purchase caps for the chlorination tubes.
