The installation and construction of the SSTS shall be in accordance with the permit requirements and application design. If any SSTS component is covered before being inspected and approved by the city, it shall be uncovered upon the direction of the city.

SSTS found to be non-compliant with other applicable requirements must be repaired or replaced according to the city's requirements.

(D) (1) A certificate of compliance for new SSTS construction or replacement, which shall be valid for five years, shall be issued by the city within 15 days of inspection if the city determines that the system was built in accordance with the applicable requirements as specified in the Zoning Ordinance and the SSTS construction permit.
(2) The certificate of compliance must include a certified statement by the certified inspector or qualified employee who conducted the inspection that the SSTS is in compliance with the chapter requirements.
