� <br /> Thomas P. DuFresne <br /> 475 North Ferndale Road <br /> Wayzata, MN 55391 <br /> Monday, May 8, 1995 <br /> Steve Weckman <br /> City of Orono <br /> Septic System Inspector <br /> P O Box 66 <br /> Crystal Bay, MN 55323-066 <br /> Dear Mr. Weckman: <br /> I am writing to provide you with information relating to the required <br /> pumping of our septic system in 1994 and 1995. Both instances were <br /> mainly related to a malfunctioning water softener. The details are as <br /> follows: <br /> 1) In January of 1994, while we were on vacation, the timer on our water <br /> softener stopped functioning and allowed the softener to continuously <br /> recycle; creating a constant discharge of water into the septic system. Upon <br /> our return we had the timer replaced and the septic pumped. <br /> 2) Your office notified us of a septic discharge situation on approximately <br /> February 25, 1995. Finding this unusual that the septic would be in that <br /> condition only after one year of service we decided to thoroughly <br /> investigate. We found several situations that required immediate attention, <br /> which were as follows: <br /> a) We discovered a broken valve on the water softener that <br /> allowed water to be continuously discharged to the septic system. We had <br /> the water softener replaced and have had no reoccuning problems since. <br /> b) We further discovered that the humidifier was set at forty- <br /> five percent and was continuously discharging overflow water. The setting <br /> was lowered which resulted in no further water overflow discharge. <br />
