We met with the owner, Wilma Trahan. Ms. Trahan was able to provide us with the receipt of the latest septic tank pumping, which was in May of 2020. There were no chlorine tablets in the chlorinator. The cover to the chlorine contact chamber was made of netting and the netting was broken. This is a safety hazard and should be addressed. The cover should be made of a sturdier, waterproof material. The system was discharging at the time of the inspection. NCG550704 17 (Cont.)
