FBS Mortgage Company <br />Page 2 <br />August 3, 1984 <br />3. The pump station apj•"fired to contain layers of floating and <br />submerged solids, indicating the need for a thorough <br />cleaning and pumpout. <br />4. The solids appearing in the pump tank normally indicate the <br />need for pumping out the first tank and repairing/replacing <br />baffles as necessary. Our records indicate that a manhole <br />to the surface was not provided when this tank was installed, <br />making it extremely difficult to properly maintain. This <br />fact, coupled with the lack of a second septic tank and the <br />need to be pumping only liquid effluent to the drainfield, <br />indicate yearly pumpouts of the first tank would be a prudent <br />maintenance measure. Based on the above, I would recommend <br />that the first tank be uncovered, pumped out to remove <br />solids, baf f les be checked, and the tank retrof itted with a <br />manhole to just below the surface (an opening for manhole <br />extension exists on the inlet end of the tank). <br />5. A tank high -water -level (pump failure) alarm is located next <br />to the refrigerator inside the house. <br />No permit is required for the work described above. However, I would <br />like to inspect the system again when the pump station is being <br />serviced. I would suggest you contact the contractor who installed <br />the system to do the repairs (Keith Clark of Westonka Plumbing, 472- <br />4959). <br />Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions on any of this. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael P.
