Box 66 <br /> —� Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> October 18, 2000 <br /> Thomas & Lou Ann Baurle <br /> 2985 Watertown Road <br /> Long Lake, MN 55356 <br /> Dear Mr. & Mrs. Baurle: <br /> An inspection of your septic system was conducted on October 17, 2000. During a previous <br /> inspection, it was determined that the mound system was failing by discharging untreated sewage <br /> to the ground surface. <br /> The mound system has shown improvement since the previous inspection. While the mound is still <br /> saturated, it is not discharging sewage. It is not uncommon for a mound system that was having <br /> problems to clear up and start to function properly. The dry summer is probably one of the biggest <br /> factors. <br /> While the mound appears to be getting better, it not functioning at 100 percent. I recommend that <br /> you check all water fixtures in the house to make sure that they are not leaking. The mound is <br /> designed to handle about 450 gallons of water per day. The average person uses about 75 gallons <br /> of water per day. I also would recommend having the tanks pumped before you leave for a long <br /> weekend or vacation. This extensive rest time for the mound could also help make the mound <br /> function more properly. <br /> City staff will inspect the mound again in the spring or summer of 2001 to see how the mound is <br /> functioning. Feel free to contact me at (952) 249-4600 if you have any questions. <br /> Respectfull <br /> ®ris, <br /> Pence <br /> On-Site Systems Manager <br /> Telephone(952)2494600 - Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
