We have had a couple of inquiries regarding the pumping of individual homeowner septic holding tanks when needed and provide the following reply:
The Department of Environmental Quality determined the septic requirements for the subdivision based on lot size. Individual septic systems were not allowed and the DEQ mandated each lot would be required to install and maintain a septic holding tank by the homeowner and the subdivision developer would be required to install and maintain a sewage and treatment system that would filter and dispose of all waste water.
RMUC maintains the sewer system from the Utility Easement (lot boundary) to the treatment system and drain field to include pumps, wiring, piping, electrical, utilities, etc. RMUC is also responsible for testing and inspections as required by DEQ. This same is true for the Water System.
The sewer system drains waste water (solids settle in each individuals holding tank) to a lift station 25 ft into the ground and then pumped 4 times through a filtration system where it is treated and filtered before safely putting back into the ground. This system is state-of-the-art and was designed to be environmentally friendly.
The septic holding tank located on each individual’s building lot are the responsibility of the homeowner to maintain and pump when necessary.
The Protective Covenants clearly state the responsibility of the developer and homeowner as stated below from the Recorded copy of the Pepperwood Crossing Protective Covenants:
4.6 Well Water And Septic Tanks: No individual wells or septic systems are allowed on any lot. All lots shall have a central water and sewer system provided by the Developer and included as part of the lot. Rocky Mountain Utilities Company, Inc. will provide water service to lot owner within 5′ of property line at a Public Utilities Commission monthly rate. Lot owner will be responsible to pay Rocky Mountain Utilities Company, Inc. a monthly septic system rate. Rocky Mountain Utilities Company will Maintain and repair all sewer and water systems up to Homeowners property line , Homeowners will be responsible for installing septic tank and line on individual lots. Rocky Mountain Utilities Company will require proof of inspection or pumping of tank on their property every 5 years.
Each lot owner will be responsible for installation of an individual septic holding tank per District Sever Health Department specifications (1000 or 1500 gallon).
Each lot owner will be responsible for the additional $1850 connection fee for water and sewer initially.
