RE: Septic System Inspection
Uear Stephen Weckman,
I have been meaning to contact you for some time regarding the attached inspection report. I feel that it is incorrect
because I believe our septic service man did not send you information that would have been reflected in your report.
First of all,under the"TANK CONDITION' section you have noted that"(During the last septic tank Maintenance
Pumpout the tanks[ ]were or[X)were not confirmed to be watertig�t by the licensed pumping contractor. If the
tanks were not. . . . . . ."
I take exception to this statement because the man that pumped out our tanks removed the two covers from each of the
first two tanks and one cover from the tank with the pump in it. I believe it was obvious that these tanks were
canfirmed to be waterti¢ht.
Secondly,under the"INSPECTlON RECORD"your report should note that 2000 gallons was pumped from the tanks
on 8122/96. I am enclosing a receipt of the pumping.The pumping was performed by Elmer J.Peterson Company of
5921 Dague Ave. SE,Delano,MN 55328. Their phone number is 471-8151. They were also the same contractor that
installed our system and have done previous pumpings.
VJithin a few weeks after we received your report,I contacted Elmer J.Peterson Co. and asked them to send you
information that proved to you that your report was incorrect. The lady I spoke to told me they'd take care of it. I do
not lmow if this has been accomplished so I am writing to you at this time.
I am requesting you to send me an updated report with corrected information on it.If you have any questions,I suggest
you contact Elmer J.Peterson Co. or you may call me at my weekday phone number 936-4523.
Sincerely,
� �
