" In accordance with our discussion of July 6, 1993 , I am hereby requesting, on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Rasmussen, that the issue of the Rasmussens ' septic system be placed upon the City Council ' s agenda for consideration atthe council 's meeting on July 12, 1993 . By way of background, the Rasmussens' obtained permit no. 5286 from the city of Orono for construction of their septic system on August 17, 1978 in connection with the construction of their home. At that time, it was noted by your staff on the "Septic System Inventory Card" (copy enclosed for your reference) that the "Height of drainfield above water table" was + or - 3 ' . The system was installed as a "conforming" system. The Rasmussens' septic system was inspected on July 30, 1979, August 14, 1984, June 16, 1988, and July 25, 1991, and was rated by your staff on each of those four occasions as a "Code System, " which I understand is defined as: A system which meets all the location, design, and construction standards of the current City Codes, and which is operating satisfactorily by treating and disposing of the entire current sewage input without discharging any pollutants into ground or surface waters.
