Which item is NOT typically required to be retained for septic inspection records?

Documenting a septic inspection focuses on what the system looks like now, how it was operating, and any regulatory actions taken. Photos provide a visual record of components, tank labels, risers, and overall condition. Notes capture the measurements, observations, dye-test results, pump status, and any repairs or recommendations with dates. Permits show the approved design and any modifications, ensuring the record proves regulatory compliance. Weather data isn’t typically required to be retained as part of standard inspection records. While weather can influence soil conditions or groundwater briefly, it doesn’t change the documented condition of the system or regulatory status, so it’s not a routine part of keeping the inspection file.
