Subject: Septic System - 315 Crestview Avenue
Since the septic inspection program was implemented in 1978,
the system has been inspected in 1978, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1990 and
1991 according to our septic system inventory card. Generally
for each inspection, a report form is completed and a copy is
sent to the homeowner. At this time, however, reports for the
inspections made in 1986 and 1987 are not in the City address
file.
The septic system was observed discharging effluent to the
surface on December 3, 1987 according to the septic system
inventory card. As there is no report on file for the
inspection, it is doubtful that a report was sent to the
homeowner at that time. It is likely that a report was never
completed as the inspection was performed in the winter when a
thorough inspection may not have been possible.
In June of 1991, the septic system was observed to be
discharging effluent to the surface in the neighbor's yard and
repairs were required. Mr. Shannon came in to the City offices
in early June to discuss his septic system and the repairs
required. At that time he told me he was unaware that there were
any previous problems with the septic system.
We don't have any way to verify that the previous owner, Jim
Buelow, knew that the septic system was failing while he owned
the property.
