Re: 10640 Mill Road SE
Randy:
This letter is a follow -up to the voice mail I left for you on Thursday, January 30, 2003, regarding the on-
site sewage disposal system you repaired at 10640 Mill Road SE (tax parcel number 22730230500).
As I indicated in my voice message, the property will be required to connect to the City's S.T.E.P.
sewer system and City water.
The requirement for connection to City services can be found in Section 13.08.020 Yelm Municipal
Code, which states, in part, that property shall connect to the City's sewer system if the collection
system is available (within 200 of the property) and the County Health Department requires the
connection for public health reasons. Further, the State Health Codes state at Section 246- 272 -07001
WAC states that the County Health Department may require that a property with a failed on -site
sewage disposal system connect to City sewer when they are within 200 feet of the property.
On January 17, 2003, this information was provided to your real estate agent, who had contacted the
City to find out if connection to City services was required, as an inspection prior to sale of the property
had indicated that the on -site sewage disposal system had failed. I indicated that connection was
required unless the Health Department approved a repair, and suggested that the County be contacted
for information on the permit process.
The next week, the on -site sewage disposal system was repaired without benefit of permit. According
to you during our telephone conversation on Monday, January 27, 2003, two new 50 foot sections of
drainfield had been added to the system and approximately 5 feet of solid pipe from the distribution box
to the drainfield had been replaced. I subsequently contacted the Health Department and confirmed
that a permit would be required for this work and that, as sewer is available to the property, connection
to the sewer system is required.
Please contact the Community Development Department for the process of connecting to City water
and sewer.
