Iu-eb: An inspection of your septic system was conducted on June 6, 2000. A summary of the inspection is below. Septic Tank Condition 1. Pumpout not needed at this time. The septic system is non-compliant due to a lack of a three foot separation distance between the bottom of the drainfield to the seasonally high watertable. The three foot requirement is a State Code, not a City Code. A soil boring was conducted to determine the depth of the seasonally watertable. The septic system must be replaced no later than December 31, 2010. Enclosed is a list of state licensed septic contractors who work in Orono on a regular basis. Also enclosed is a fact sheet explaining how a septic system functions properly. Finally, an as-built drawing is enclosed that shows the approximate location of the septic system. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact me at the City Offices at 249-4600.
