Conclusions: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS D/o ~63 Form No. PEEHP-W-2 Page 3 1. The owners had very little information on the water supply. 2, The system is ~reatly in need of general cleaning and maintenance. Recmm~endations; lo Monthly water samples should be taken for bacterloloHlcal analysis. Note that the pH is lower than acceptable. Also it should be noted that the odor of mars~ ~as ,was noted at the tap in the ments room sink when the faucet was tm:ned on and the water was running. For these reasons the present water system should be treated to be fit fo~ d,omestic user or abandoned. The present supply very definitely is not adequate. 3. It is felt that because of the lack of information on either the water or sewase systems and because of the deficiencies noted above~ these systems a~e not aoeeetable from a Public Health standpoint, .

CESSPOOL~ An element which is designed to serve ~hs same purpose as · s"ep'tic tank except that it is not watertight and thus permits leaching of treated waste (largely liquid) into' the surrounding soil. LEACHING FIELD: An element designed to receive only treated sewage (l'argely liquid) or liquid waste~ its purpose is to distribute liquid throughout surrounding soil. Constructed as a network of perforated pipes, open-jointed drain tile, or similar materiel. SEEPAGE PIT: An element which serves the same purpose as a leach- ing ribald.'
