Operations & Maintenance

On-site Programs have been established in many counties around the country to protect public health. These "O&M" programs ensure that newly installed on-site sewage systems are properly designed, sited and constructed. Minimum standards have been developed to reduce the risk of contaminating drinking, ground, and surface waters, as well as reduce the risk of public exposure to untreated sewage.

Northwest Cascade has Certified Operation & Maintenance Technicians and Specialists who will verify that your system is operating within its design parameters to meet the requirements of the local jurisdictions. They can also complete the necessary paperwork required by your county.

What we do during an O&M inspection

• Determine sludge, scum and liquid levels in each of the compartments of all tanks in the system.
• Check operation and dosing of any pumps in the system.
• Inspect drain field area.
• Ensure that all components are in good working condition.
