CITY of ORONO <br />Post Office Rux!,..•Crystal Bay, Minnesota &SM 0 Municipal Offices <br />On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka <br />August 3, 1984 <br />Ms. Kathy Kurzhal <br />FBS Mortgage Company <br />332 Minnesota Street <br />St. Paul, MN 55101 <br />Dear Ms. Kurzhal: <br />Subject: Septic System Problems, 2943 Farview Lane <br />Per your request, I made an inspection of the septic system at 2943 <br />Farview Lane on August 2, 1984, and wish to make the following <br />observations: <br />1. The Mound -type drainfield systems shows no evidence of <br />surface seepage and appears to be accepting the current <br />sewage flow. This was the first mound system installed in <br />Orono and after six years of use appears to be functioning as <br />designed. <br />2. The pump station is not functioning correctly and needs <br />immediate attention. when the station was opened for <br />inspection, it was noted that the pump turn -on float had been <br />placed permanently in the "on" position by setting it on a <br />board above the pump. The pump was running constantly even <br />with no sewage inflow (the house is empty) and would likely <br />burn out in a short period of time. I placed the f loat in it's <br />property "off" operating position, then placed it in the <br />"switch on" position. The float did not turn the pump on as <br />it is designed to do. It is likely that the last person who <br />serviced this pump realized the float switch was faulty and <br />rigged it to run constantly rather than repair or replace the <br />switch. <br />THE PUMP STATION APPEARS NON-FUNCTIONAL A": THE PRESENT TIME <br />AND NEEDS TO BE SERVICED BEFORE FURTHER USAGE OF THE HOUSE <br />PLUMBING!! <br />BUILDING • LOMNt: - 473.7357 a ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE - 473 7358 • PUBLIC %0kKS 471 73514 <br />ASSESSING <br />
