44.05 INSPECTION.
1.   Notification. The Environmental Health office shall be notified orally by telephone, or in person, not less than twenty-four (24) hours, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except County observed holidays, before the work is to be inspected or tested.
2.   Inspection. No part of any private sewage disposal system shall be used, covered or constructed so as to deny the mandatory inspection by the County Sanitarian. An on-site wastewater treatment and disposal system is considered ready for inspection when the house sewer, septic tank, distribution box, and secondary treatment are in place but not covered.
3.   Availability of Permit. The installer of any onsite wastewater system, alteration or repair shall have a copy of the permit on the job site, and be available for review by the Marion County Environmental Health office of the Public Health Department, Marion County Board of Health staff or designees.
4.   Inspection of Repair or Alteration to Existing Systems. If an existing on-site wastewater treatment and disposal system is being repaired, altered, reconstructed, or a new system is being installed to replace an existing system, the building to be served by this system shall be connected to the building sewer before final approval is given.
5.   Drawing Required. When the on-site wastewater treatment and disposal system has been completed, a drawing shall be completed by the County Sanitarian showing the exact layout of the septic tank, all distribution boxes, the secondary treatment system, and location of the structure to be served by the system. This drawing shall have dimensions from two (2) fixed corners of the dwelling or structure or other permanent landmark to the center of the septic tank(s) and center of the distribution boxes. Digital photos will also be taken of pertinent features and kept in the Environmental Health office of the Health Department. The location of all wells within 100 feet of the system must also be shown. A copy of such shall be provided to the owner upon request.
