- If a record of the sewage system is available, it will be used by the inspector as part of the review.
- If a record does not exist, it is the applicant’s responsibility to prove what type and size of the sewage system currently services the house. This may include some excavation work.
- If the current sewage system is sized properly to handle the proposed changes to the house the inspector will conduct a site visit to confirm the system appears to be in good working order. If the system is in good working order an approved application will be provided to the applicant. If the system is failing a new sewage system will be required.
- If the current system is not sized properly to handle the proposed changes to the house the application will not be approved. The inspector will call the applicant to discuss the options for the sewage system. These options may include but are not limited to; total replacement of the sewage system, replacement of parts of the system or adding to the system. These options are at the discretion of the inspector not the applicant.
- If a new sewage system is required, the price of the review of performance application will be taken off the total price for the new sewage system application.
