What is the inspection and reporting frequency for Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 systems?

Monthly inspections and reporting are required for Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 systems to ensure ongoing monitoring and timely action. The inspector checks that the system is operating correctly, notes values like tank and effluent levels, observes pump cycles and alarms, and documents any maintenance or observed issues. This monthly cadence provides a practical balance between safety and workload, ensuring problems are caught early without demanding daily or weekly visits. N/A isn’t a reporting frequency for active systems, while daily or weekly would be unnecessarily frequent for routine septic system oversight.
